Steven Baxley

I have been working as a Gospel preacher since 1992, when I graduated from the University of Dallas in Irving, Texas. All of my full-time work, however, has been carried out in the Czech Republic, where I have been living for the last 16 years. I am 38 years old. My wife, Ivana, is a native of the Czech Republic. We have three children, Anna (age almost 10), Adela (age 7), and Samuel (age 4). Due to the nature of the work in the Czech Republic, I have acquired extensive experience in doing personal work among people of various backgrounds, including atheists, agnostics, and members of various denominations We plan to leave the Czech Republic at the end of July 2008, pending the final sale of our house here in the Czech Republic. Personal photos, photos related to the work here, and reports of the work here in the Czech Republic can be found at www.baxleys.info. Older reports can also be found at www.evangelismupdate.com. I can be contacted by e-mail at [email protected]. I will answer all e-mails that I receive, so if you don’t get a reply, please resend your message in case the original was lost.

Alex Brown

My name is (603) 986-3897, I am 22 and am looking for a faithful, doctrinally sound congregation with which to serve as evangelist and or youth minister. I am committed to teaching the "...whole counsel of God (Acts 20:27) and do not subscribe to the "new hermenutic" which is destroying our brotherhood and the Lord's church. I am married with a child on the way. I have my A.A. Degree majoring in Biblical Studies and some experience in "full time" ministry. I welcome any who would seek to hire me to contact me and I would be happy to answer questions regarding where I stand on various issues with respect to God's inspired Word (2nd Timothy 3:16-17, 2nd Peter 1:20-21).

I am currently working with a small congregation at Ragland, West Virginia. The work here is tremendous and would love to be able to continue, but unfortunately I am not able to secure any extra support. Therefore, I am now looking for a sound congregation to work with. I do have some support from Social Security, so I may be able to work for congregation that can’t afford to fully support a preacher. I have been preaching for around 30 years in West Virginia and Florida, and have been preaching full-time for the last 14 of those 30 years. I have a wonderful wife of 32 years, and we have raised two faithful Sons. I would like to find a congregation that is longing to grow in the knowledge of God's word and in spreading the gospel throughout the community. I have many references that I can give upon request.

Nathan Gochee

Hello,
My name is Nathan Gochee. I have been a Christian for over twelve years. Let me go back farther. I was not raised in a Christian home. I am one of four boys. My parents divorced when I was four years old. My father was a very abusive alcoholic. I got married at the beginning of my senior year of high school to a young lady that changed my life forever. Jennifer and I were married November 5th, 1994. After being married for about a year, and seeing the example that my wife was, I obeyed the Gospel. We now have three wonderful children, Breonna – 12, Cason – 7, Kaeghan – 4. I started preaching on a regular basis over five years ago. In September of 2005 I accepted the minister position with a small congregation in Salisbury, NC (Salisbury Church of Christ). There were only 15 people attending when we arrived. I preached morning and evening services on Sunday, held a study with an elderly lady on Sunday after noon, studied with a group at Carolyn assisted Living Center every Tuesday evening, had an in-home bible study with four teenagers in our home every Thursday. We were seeing the Lord work there in Salisbury as the number grew to about thirty by April of 2006. I was not able to get full support, so I carried a full-time secular job working six days a week. Cost of living was a lot higher in North Carolina than in Tennessee. I was not able to gain more support and finding stable secular work that would make up for lack of support was hard. Towards the end of May, we started to realize that we were not making it financially as we were unable to make full payments on my truck and lost it to repossession. We then decided that it was best to return to Tennessee where we still had our home that my older brother was staying in. Sense returning to Tennessee, the Lord has blessed me with a good job and we are recovering from our losses. I have been traveling throughout Tennessee and Alabama helping small congregations that are without. We have been very busy as travel has been a minimum of 1 hour one way to wherever I may preach at, some being three hours away. I still desire to be able to work with a congregation on a more extensive basis when the Lord sees that it is time again. I happily accept any opportunity to hold weekend meetings and or studies when called upon. I believe that the Word of God can reach any one; we just have to deliver it. We must go, not sit, out and be lights not just to those who are Christians. I feel that people are reached best through in-home studies. I feel that Christians also need encouraging and teaching as much as possible. This must take place inside and outside of the meeting place.

References and recorded sermons are available upon request.

In Christ,

I am sound as the day is long. I truly wish to preach God's Word. Ask any questions you might have of me. I have preached only 10 sermons or so, but I am only 20. Thank you in advance.

Timothy Paul Houston

P. F. Katonka, Jr. (Paul)

I have recently established a work here in Export, PA 15632. The assembly of Christ greets you! (Rom. 16:16) I am looking to preach weekend meetings or week meetings for the brotherhood as much as possible. I like to use power point presentations or use only a Bible in the pulpit; whatever your preference. I don't work congregations with adulterers nor endorse them. My family consists of my wife (one and only) and I (her one and only), my step-daughter, son, son, son, daughter, and son. They will all be traveling with me. We are close knit. I do not believe in mechanical instruments of music in worship to God. (inside the assembly or out) I do not believe in human institutions invading the work of the local assembly. I do not believe in using multiple cups or loaves in the Lord's supper. (Let us leave it His) The sponsoring "church" arrangement is unscriptural. I do not believe the exception "for fornication" is for us today. If I seem too conservative with the scriptures of our Lord; I do not apologize. I only teach what the scriptures teach; and exspect the same of others. Praise the Lord Most High! Thank you for considering me and my family to work amongst the brethren there! Peace and Majesty to the one and only true God on high! - . 724-309-8353.

Gary Prince

Since my college days, I have always said that my main career goal is to be a preacher and teacher of God's word. God has blessed me with a good mind and a good education. I graduated salutatorian of my high school and graduated "magna cum laude" from college. I attended Florida College for four years and received a four-year Certificate of Achievement in Bible. I humbly recognize that all I have achieved is by the grace of God. I have preached the gospel on a full time basis for over three years and have preached for congregations on a regular part time basis for a total of over fifteen years. I currently preach part time for the church of Christ in Dixon Springs, Tennessee, but desire to be able to give myself "continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word" (Acts 6:4) that I might be a better steward of the mind and education God blessed me with (I Cor. 4:1-2). For a resume and references, send an e-mail to giving the name of the congregation and a complete mailing address plus the physical address of the church's building, if different from the mailing address.

Daniel T. Sims

I would like to work full time as a gospel preacher. I am 28 years old and married. My wife and I have a 16 month old daughter. I have been doing "fill-in" preaching for the last ten years. Five of those years I was in the navy and often conducted worship services on board the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy when we were at sea. I got out of the Navy in 2003 and went back to college. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Texas at Tyler, TX. For three years after getting out of the Navy I regularly taught a Bible class where my father, Richard Sims, preaches at the North Loop church of Christ in Mineola, TX. I have continued to "fill-in" whenever and where ever I can in the East Texas area. Currently, I am employed as a Parole Officer for the State of Texas. However, I would like to fulfill my life long desire to preach the gospel of Christ. If you are looking for a preacher with some experience and a lot of dedication, please contact me.

I am searching for a congregation that is only interested in the truth of God's word, one in which we would all work together to edify and teach one another and show others in the world what we have (Heaven). I am 36 and am very happily married with a wonderful 8 month old son. I have studied for years with other preachers; mainly with Sean Sullivan (Norwalk, Ohio). I have experience preaching full time and creating/teaching Bible studies for adults and children. Currently I am preaching at the Norwalk Church of Christ in Ohio. - E-Mail: Phone:(419)-239-5327

Jered Smith

Brethren,
I am currently looking for a congregation in need of a full time preacher. I am 24 years old and unmarried. I obeyed the gospel and was baptized 12 years ago. My parents were both converted to Christ in their teens, and have striven to raise me and my siblings to keep the faith. I currently attend at the Bacliff church of Christ in Bacliff, Texas (www.bacliffchurchofchrist.org). My marital status may be of benefit to smaller congregations, as I would require less financial support than a man raising a family. I have not yet been a full time preacher, but have done "fill in preaching" as often as possible. Currently, the men of the congregation take turns preaching on two Sunday nights of each month, as well as shorter invitations on Wednesdays. I take advantage of these of these opportunities as often as possible. Before attending at the Bacliff congregation, I was regularly assisted and filled in for brother Steinmetz in his preaching duties at the Texas City congregation, until his passing. So, over the last five years, I have done a fair amount of preaching, if not on a regular basis. I am able to teach class, and have done so often over the last several years. Typically I have taught the High School and Jr. High aged children, but could certainly teach adult classes. I have also engaged in a good many personal Bible studies with individuals both in and out of the faith. I am able to move anywhere, but will be unable to do so until March 1, 2008. However, I would like, if possible, to have a congregation "lined up" before then. I can provide written sermon and class notes, as well as recorded sermons (provided I can find them in our cramped and somewhat disorganized storage area) upon request. In Him,
