About Glynn Langston

Glynn Langston is a native of Houston, Texas. Because of treatment he received as a 2 pound premature baby, the sole survivor of twins, Glyn has lived without the visual sight most people take for granted.

After spending several years at the Texas State School for the Blind in Austin, TX, Glynn became a pioneer as the first blind student to attend sighted classes in the Houston Public Schools. He graduated magna cum laude in 1967.

He made the Dean's list at Southwestern University (Georgetown, TX), was named to Who's Who In American Colleges & Universities, and graduated cum laude in 1971 with a degree in European History and Public Speaking.

Glynn speaks fluent French, is conversational in Russian, German, and Spanish, and reads and writes Braille. He is an avid Ham Radio operator and has been involved in several life saving calls. He has had audiences with Kings (such as King Faisal of Saudi Arabia) and Presidents (such as President DeValera of the Republic of Ireland). For a period of time he was a radio and television spokesman for the Irish National Council for the Blind. He served as a missionary for over 22 years on behalf of churches of Christ in European settings, reaching thousands of people with the Gospel message, especially the visually impaired.

Glyn and his wife Ann (who met on a blind date) have two children, Andre' and Elise. The Langston's now live in Carencro, Louisiana, about ten miles west of Lafayette. Glynn and his family have committed themselves to the development of Insight Inaternational, a Braille Outreach Worldwide Ministry. It is Glynn's vision that free Biblical literature and audio cassettes for the visually impaired be available so that more souls can know and respond to the Lord. The need for this material is greater than any of us could possibly imagine. Glynn is truly a remarkable person; one worthy of your prayerful support.
