Leaders Seeking Churches

Hello! My name is Brother Russell Karnes. I am an ABA preacher. I am interested in both pastoral, associate and youth pastoral positions. I will be 51 years old in December. Presently, I am a member at a non-ABA church, Newark Baptist Temple in Newark, Ohio where Brother Mark Falls is the pastor. When I came to Newark (where my mom and my immediate family live), there was no ABA church in a reasonable amount of distance. The Lord has taught me many things at Newark Baptist Temple. Recently, the Lord is leading me to come back to His churches in the ABA. Though I am single, I am divorced. She committed immorality. I was blameless. I have committed myself to staying single (...the husband of one wife.... I Timothy 3:2). I have a pastor's heart and I truly want to be where God wants me to be. I have both been a pastor and an associate pastor. They have been all in ABA churches. I only use, preach and teach from the King James Bible. I am in full agreement with the ABA doctrinal statement because it is Bible. I am willing to be either bi-vocational or full-time at the church. I am willing to work a secular job if that is what the Lord has. I do apologize in advance that I am not able to send any emails, but I can receive them. As a result, I can not send any information. I am more than willing to answer any questions. Feel free to contact me by phone at 1 406 242 0605. May God's perfect will be done! Have a great day!
