In the year 2000, the Baptist World Alliance selected this preacher to deliver the keynote address for its conference in Melbourne, Australia, an audience from nations around the globe. In 2010 the E. K Bailey Expository Preaching Conference honored Dr. Hicks as a Living Legend among preachers of this generation.
