'''Benny Lee Beckum''' (born July 14, 1950) is an [[Independent Baptist]] evangelist and scholar known for his accent on [[prayer]] in the [[Christian]] life. The founder and president of Intercessor Ministries, Inc., he is the author of ''Prayer Revival: A Textbook on Prayer, Fasting, and Revival.''<ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.amazon.com/Prayer-Revival-textbook-Fasting/dp/0982216203|title=Prayer Revival|publisher=amazon.com|accessdate=August 3, 2020}}</ref>
Beckum was born in Savannah, [[Georgia]]. His first wife, Linda Diane Beckum (1951-2001) died at the age of forty-nine of both breast and brain cancer. Their joint grave marker is at the Calvary Baptist Church Cemetery in Salley in Aiken County, [[South Carolina]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/146607671/linda-diane-beckum|title=Linda Diane Beckum|publisher=Findagrave.com|accessdate=August 3, 2020}}</ref> It was his wife's lengthy illness that led to his concentration on prayer. "Not everyone is called to preach, but everyone is called to pray. .. Prayerlessness is a sin of negligence," Beckum said.
