Conference of Texas Baptist Evangelist Elect New Officers

FAIRFIELD, TX –February 3, 2007 – The Conference of Texas Baptist Evangelist (COTBE) announces the election of new officers. The 2007 officers are, Marion Warren President of Euless Texas, Paul Cherry Vice President of Wolfe City, Gary Newman Secretary/Treasurer of Garland, Sam Craig Music Director of Houston and Ricky Davis Assistant Music Director of Lufkin. 

“I am honored to be president of COTBE,” says Marion Warren, a Euless based evangelist. “This is a valuable fellowship of evangelists.   I am a changed person because of my relationship with them.  My gifts are enhanced and my field of ministry is enlarged. My knowledge and skills are also improved and my spiritual depth is more established.”

The Conference of Texas Baptist Evangelists is a fellowship of individuals called by God into evangelistic ministry. Individuals, husband and wife teams and families serving together in the ministry of evangelism, as well as evangelistic teams, are all represented among the membership. All those whom God has called into a vocational evangelism are warmly welcomed.

The Conference of Texas Baptist Evangelist are people who dedicate their lives to carrying the Gospel of Jesus Christ to Texas and to the world. They help organize and assist communities and churches in organizing Revivals, Concerts, Bible Conferences and Outreaches in local venues such as rodeo arenas and Football Stadiums.  

Warren says COTBE has much to offer Texas Churches.  “Since its inception The Conference of Texas Baptist Evangelist has been serving Texas churches and beyond,” according to Warren.  They are called and gifted servants of God that continue to challenge me to be a better person and a much better servant of Jesus.”

Many Texas evangelists are involved in missions in such places as Belize and in the jungles of South America. Member evangelist Rick Ingle donates much of his time helping and encouraging mission churches in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Massachusetts. Sam Craig leads mission trips to Panama and Ronnie Hill provides ministry at NASCAR events, Sturgis Bike Week and n such countries as Nicaragua. Some have more than one type of ministry (i.e., music and ventriloquism), but each is supportive of the local church.

Warren provides this postscript, “The church that does not use a God called evangelist is missing one of the enormous gifts of God to HIS church.”
