TESTIMONIES ABOUT THE PULPIT SUPPLY PROGRAM

We are profoundly grateful for Mid-America’s pulpit supply program and highly recommend it for churches looking for an excellent source of student pastors. We can state with confidence that the program is an invaluable asset for churches in need of a pastor, and we are thankful for all that Mid-America has done to provide us with such amazing students.

Mid-America student Andre Randolph is a frequent guest preacher at Ebenezer Church in Tipton County, Tennessee.

The Pulpit Supply Program at Mid-America has been such a blessing to both the student body and the community of churches we are able to reach! As a young preacher involved in the program, I have grown much more in my skill and dedication to the art of preaching as a result of the program, and hope to continue to do so while I am still here. I am forever grateful!

At Calvary Baptist Church one Sunday, after I’d concluded my sermon with prayer, one of the congregants noticed that the elderly sister sitting next to her still had her head down and eyes closed. They eventually called 911 and found out that she suffered from a serious medical condition. The next time I preached there, not only was that elderly sister there, but she was trying to encourage me. She told me the sermon was helpful and even remembered the passage from which I preached. Being there with her when this horrific experience happened to her really endeared me to her and that church. To me, that’s what this program is all about.

As a new student at MidAmerica, the Pulpit Supply Program has been a fantastic opportunity for me to gain experience preaching and help churches without a pastor. It has allowed me to preach at seven different churches in both Tennessee and Arkansas. The School of the Prophets class has allowed me to learn from some of the greatest preachers to prepare me to preach for these churches. I was also put in contact with a preacher named Dr. Timothy Pigg, who has personally worked with me so that the congregations can hear great sermons every week.

If you would like to attend the next School of the Prophets event, or if you would like to have a Mid-America student come and preach a revival event or other special service, contact Klayton Carson at KACarson01@mabts.edu.
