     I am a relatively young preacher, coming up on my 23rd birthday, but I've been preaching for nearly 9 years since I surrendered at Budd Creek at the age of 14. I was saved at the age of 11 at Bogg Springs. I love to preach, and though my home church gives me ample opportunities to do so, I want to do it even more so. I believe that God wants me to pastor a church someday and I simply want to get further prepared for that.

All medical records and my doctors are in Little Rock. Therefore, I would like to stay within an hour or two of the area.

DAVID L MURPHY  (1-11-08)
111 Seminary Ln / Minden LA 71055 / 318-382-3601 / lumbrdave@aol.com
     I am currently attending my second semester of my third year in Seminary in Minden, at the Louisiana Missionary Baptist Institute and Seminary. I am single with no children, 22 years old, and have a heart for the Lord and His work. I was raised in a conservative Southern Baptist Church and even have had some experience as a youth minister in a more liberal church in the SBC. I have, however, repented of my liberal views of the Lord's work and have been a faithful and conservative member of the ABA for two years. I am evangelical in thought and nature. There is nothing more important than the salvation of a person's soul. I believe that only the blood of Christ can cover our sins and that it is only by trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ that we can be saved. I am looking to fill a position as either a pastor, associate pastor, or youth minister. My prayer is that I will be called by a church before I completely graduate from my fifth and final year as a student receiving a master's degree in theology. My prayer is also that the Lord will send me to a local New Testament church in the Louisiana, Arkansas and possibly east Texas area. I do not want to sound picky or anything, but people need the Lord everywhere, and I believe I can relate to the people in these areas better than others in a more distant location, however, it is not my will but the Lord's.
