"Gospel Preachers Living History Series"

While taping this series the author was also asked to participate in the "Gospel Preachers Living History Series." The World Video Bible School states the purpose in recording this series to be the following: "In an effort to preserve the influence of some of the most able preachers of our generation, this series is introduced. During the first segment of each video...conducts a 30-60 minute interview. During the second part each preacher delivers one of his favorite sermons. This gives the viewer a chance to become better acquainted with the man, as well as let the viewer experience what it was like to hear him preach. As a bonus, many interviews contain photographs you are not likely to see anywhere else...Let these faithful men help us learn from and appreciate our history so we can avoid the mistakes of the past and take courage to press on to the future."

Some who have been recorded in the "Gospel Preachers Living History Series" are George Bailey, Curtis A. Cates, Andrew Connally, Perry B. Cotham, Roy C. Deaver, Adron Doran, Earl D. Edwards, Garland Elkins, J. A. McNutt, James Meadows, Robert R. Taylor, Jr., Thomas B. Warren, Wendell Winkler, et al.

New Faculty Member

Mike Elledge

Mike became a Christian at South Florida Avenue, Lakeland, Florida, under the instruction of a graduate of the Florida School of Preaching, Ed Duffy.

Following his graduation (May 1995) he worked with the church in Alachua, Florida from June 1995 until January 2001. In January 2001 he became the preacher for the Midway congregation in Sarasota, Florida While working with Alachua he substituted for Gene Burgett who teaches an extension class at High Springs, Florida. High Springs is near Alachua. Mike has appeared on the Florida School of Preaching lectureship program twice (1998 and 2000).

In September 1998, Mike married Jennifer Reilly and they have no children. He is presently preaching for the Midway church of Christ in Sarasota, Florida.

Mike has training from Central Michigan University, Sante-Fe Community College, and currently attends the Manatee Community College, Bradendon, Florida. Mike is working toward a degree in Sociology with a minor in English.

We believe Mike will do an excellent job for the Florida School of Preaching as he has in his preaching. If you are near Sarasota and Bradenton, Florida, contact Mike and join him in the study of the religious Cults. See page 4 for time and location of this class as well as other extension classes for the school.
