PSC 37 Box 482 / APO AE 09459 / billy.crocker@yahoo.com
On the 24th of November 2004 my home church, Cross Roads MBC in Hughes Springs, TX licensed me to preach the Gospel. Since that time I have preached in many areas in East Texas, Montana, Missouri, and Wisconsin. I have also preached in countries such as England, Germany, Iraq, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. I am 25 years old, married to my best friend, Mollie, for 4 years, and we have a two year old son, Tucker. When I was 19 I joined the US Air Force active duty as a heavy equipment operator and have been in the Air Force since then, 3 October 2006. I am currently stationed overseas in England at RAF Mildenhall. We will be back in Texas on the 31st of May 2013 when I will be available from that date forward for preaching opportunities. In my time in the Air Force I have worked with military chapels, chaplains, and people from all over the globe, and many different faith backgrounds. My family and I are open to the Holy Spirit's leading, and have no doubt that God still has a calling on my life to preach as I have done since November 2004. If you feel so led by the Spirit, please contact me through e-mail to set up a time for me to come and share what God would bring to your congregation. Thank you and God bless!
