Preaching the Word:  At Home in Indiana

The Great Commission teaches us the importance of preaching and teaching the gospel throughout the world and in every nation (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15,16). Of course, this requires the Lord's church to support and assist gospel preachers in their work (1 Corinthians 9:3-14).

At the Courtland Avenue Church of Christ we take this responsibility very seriously. Since the church's primary mission is to save souls, our collection on the first day of the week is used mainly for this purpose (1 Corinthians 16:1,2). We do not spend the Lord's money on frivolous things: entertainment, recreation, social meals, etc. Instead, we try our best to use these material blessings to promote this spiritual kingdom of Christ.

Below is a list of those preachers in Indiana that we support on a monthly basis from Courtland Avenue, in addition to our local evangelist Joshua Welch. Please pray that their work might be blessed and bear much fruit for the Lord.

	Clinton Douglas - South Bend, Indiana Clinton has been preaching the gospel in South Bend, Indiana for several years. He is now at the Caroline St. Church of Christ. This is an important work on Indiana's northern frontier. The congregation where he preaches is near the Notre Dame campus and his work provides an important dissenting voice to the religious groups dominant in the area.
	Rob Dispennett - Knightsville, Indiana Rob is a young man who is preaching the gospel at the church in Knightsville, Indiana. He has a wife and three young children.
	Andres Pong - Indianapolis, Indiana Andres recently moved to Indianapolis, Indiana with his wife and children after preaching for several years in Juarez, Mexico. Since the Spanish-speaking population in Indianapolis is estimated at over 100,000 this is an especially important work to support.
	Tom Wheeler - Ellis-Duger, Indiana The Ellis-Dugger congregation in Indiana has shown steady signs of growth since Tom Wheeler chose to work there. Tom has preached for many different congregations throughout the United States.
