Mack began his preaching in Coalgate, OK November 12, 1939 at the age of 17, and he never looked back. He and his family spent almost three years as missionaries in Perth, Western Australia in the 1960s. After returning home he continued local ministry and in 1980 he began IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY a television/media ministry now overseen by the Edmond, OK Church of CHRIST with outreach around the globe.

i extend my condolences to Brother Lyon’s family in his death. He was a bulwark in the church standing for the truth. He will be greatly missed by his family and the church. God bless all of his family.
Mack yielded a lot of fruit and fought the good fight here on this earth. He was a good and faithful example. May God continue to bless Lois, Chris and Mack’s family and make an effort to live up to the example he has set. Mack has spread the truth to millions of lost souls and I pray that IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY continues to reach those who are lost and those who are seeking joy and need encouragement. James 1:2-4
My condolences a re with you during this time of loss. May God’s promise at Revelation 21:3-4 to do away with death and anything that causes us pain and suffering bring you comfort and peace.
Gwen and I extend our sympathies to Mack’s family. We appreciated so much his work and dedication to In Search of the Lord’s Way. It was and is a great program and outreach. We especially remember times spent next door to Chris and Glenna on NW 40th in Oklahoma City. I appreciated times when Chris and I would build towers with
my daughter’s blocks to see who could build the tallest tower as well as spending time working on the Mustang. Chris taught me a lot about cars which I never knew. God bless you all as you grieve the loss of a great man.
As we approach 2024, Mack Lyon continues to impact the world through his Bible studies on You Tube. If you haven’t already, I recommend subscribing to the “Search TV Ministry” YouTube channel.
