Dr.
A. Eugene Andrews, Jr.
Professor of Preaching Ministry
Are you ready for a challenge? Are you ready
for an opportunity to do something dear to the heart of God? If so, then preaching
ministry may be just the place for you!
Hi, my name is Gene Andrews and I serve as
the advisor for the preaching ministry program at Roanoke Bible College. At RBC, we’re
committed to the importance of preaching the Gospel of Christ and strengthening His
Church.
Roanoke’s preaching ministry program is
designed to equip men to preach the Word of God and to lead a church in effective growth.
In addition to quality classroom instruction,
students are provided on-the-job training for ministry in field service opportunities.
Students can gain practical experience through preaching in area congregations,
ministering at local prisons, or helping to establish a new church plant. Students
also travel to workshops and seminars across the United States. These trips prove to be
times of renewal and inspiration for men training in ministry.
It would be a joy to see you join in the task
of being a laborer in the Lord’s harvest field. If I can be of help to you as you
consider Roanoke and the preaching ministry, please do not hesitate to contact me. Contact
me at aea@roanokebible.edu or by phone at
252-334-2045.

PREACHER OF THE MONTH
MAY 2006 - MIKE LYNN
Mike Lynn graduated from
Roanoke in 1985, having served two youth ministries while he was a
student (Mount Olive in Belhaven, NC, and Community in Williamston, NC).
He met and married Landra Martin '83 during college. In April of his
senior year (1985), he was ordained by Community Christian Church, where
he was serving the youth. He has preached for Northampton Church of
Christ, Hampton, VA (associate, four years); Glen Lyn (VA) Church of
Christ (almost ten years); Liberty Christian Church, Mechanicsville, VA
(one and a half years); and now about five years for Gallipolis (OH)
Christian Church. Mike has also earned an MA in Christian Leadership
from Kentucky Christian University. His favorite text is 1 Tim. 4:16:
"Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you
do, you will save both yourself and your hearers" (NIV). He loves being
a preacher because "We . . . are truly in the life-changing,
life-altering, life-transforming business! What else can even com-pare
to that?" He and Landra have three children: Jessica, Kristen, and
Nathan.

Student Testimonies
�To understand God�s work
is a life long process. God�s word is not only
understanding the word of God, but being able to bring
understanding of God�s word to all that will hear. The
preaching program does a wonderful job in teaching the
aspiring Minster to study and articulate Gods word
effectively to whomever with listen. The program also
matures the young Minister in developing as a Christian
and an effective servant of God.� � Chris Jones
�Three years ago, feeling
God�s call to ministry, I entered the preaching ministry
program at RBC. Before my freshman year was complete I
was called to minister at a small rural church, exactly
the kind of church I felt called to serve. The preaching
ministry program has enabled me to fill this position
even before I have completed my degree.
The most notable factor
in my time at RBC is the dedication and genuineness of
the staff and faculty. They have been an inspiration and
encouragement to me throughout.� � Howard Guidry
�The preaching program,
chaired by Dr. Gene Andrews at RBC, is a good foundation
in building ones self spiritually and emotionally for
the various tasks and situations that one would face in
being a preacher in God�s church. The single most
important benefit to me personally has been the support
of my fellow students in both the times of success and
failure. These are the things that last a lifetime.� �
Kenneth Wallace
�I have been greatly
blessed in my experience in the preaching program. God
has really made me an instrument of His work. I love the
training and tools received while in this program. I am
thankful to Dr. Andrews and the supporters of the
preaching program who have helped to give me a life
skill to me, not only as a minister, but a more
effective Christian in the Kingdom of God.� � Josh
McDaniel
