Meet Our Team
Stuart Holt, Founder, President and
CEO
Prior to founding The Evangelism Institute
(TEI), Stuart Holt co-founded and built up Response Marketing Group
(RMG), one of the largest privately owned direct response marketing
companies in the U.S.
In 1998, Stuart and his partner sold Response
Marketing Group to Snyder Communications, becoming part of
BrannWorldwide, the largest marketing firm in the world. One year
after selling RMG to Snyder Communications, Stuart decided to retire
and fully commit his time to philanthropic work.
In 1999 Stuart founded The Evangelism
Institute to study, research and teach Christians how to increase
their joy and excitement by sharing their faith with confidence and
gentleness. Stuart has always had a heart for helping
Christians enjoy the adventure of seeing God at work in their lives
and through effective communication of the Good News of Jesus
Christ.
Stuart came to Christ in 1971 while attending
Virginia Tech. While there, he was very involved with InterVarsity
Christian Fellowship. After college, his first job was with
InterVarsity Press traveling across America promoting the IV Press
books.
Currently, Stuart lives with his wife
Stephanie and two sons (Stuart and Stephen) in Richmond, Virginia.
He is a long-time church member of West End Presbyterian Church
where he is an ordained deacon, leader, supporter and teacher. In
his spare time, Stuart is an avid golfer. 
Becky Winfree, Office
Administrator
Becky joined TEI in March 2007 in our
client service and administrative areas.
After growing up in a globe-trotting military family, Becky
landed at Virginia Tech and received a B.S. and M.S. in Clothing and
Textiles. At Virginia Tech she met Stuart Holt and her
future husband, Ambrose Winfree (TEI Board member and First Love
author).
Ambrose and Becky have 3 grown daughters, Noelle, Sarah,
and Laura. While raising her daughters, Becky spent 15 years
operating her own home sewing business making draperies and other
home furnishing items. She also worked part-time for 5 years
as an administrator in a financial planning office.
Becky is an original member of the 23 year old congregation at
All Saints Reformed Presbyterian Church. She has taught Sunday
School and organized many church fellowship events through the
years. She belongs to a women's Bible study group that
has been meeting for over 25 years and has been its leader for many
of those years. Past and future mission trips to Uganda are
close to her heart.
In her spare time, Becky enjoys keeping up with family, sewing,
reading, and attempting to learn new moves on her ice
skates.
