Brown Trail Schoolby J.J. Hendrix, Field Representative

BEDFORD, Tex. (BNc) — Fifteen new students at the Brown Trail School of Preaching comprise one of its largest incoming classes since the 1990s.

They understand that we are in a shortage of sound preachers. Like the men before them, it is understood that sacrifices must be made for the good of the Lord’s church. Read more
