In June of 1994, Brian Cone accepted Christ as his saviour at youth camp. He soon felt the Lord calling me to preach which led me to enroll in seminary. For the last several years he has had the priviledge to serve full time on staff at Joshua Baptist Church. During this time, he served as the Bus Director, Youth Pastor, Children's Pastor, Missions Director, and Sunday School Superintendent. At a missions conference in 2009, he began to feel the call on his life in regards to missions. While seeking the Lord's will, with the guidance of his pastor, Dr. Wolfenbarger, the Lord revealed to him the country of Thailand. During his survey trip to Thailand, the Lord made his call certain.

Serving the Lord in Thailand has been quite interesting for Bro. Cone. They have had challenges but they have also had lots of blessings. He counts it a privilege to be able to teach the Young Professionals Sunday School Class every Sunday as well as Preaching twice a month. Learning the language has been quite difficult since it is a tonal language. But, we know that with God all things are possible.

Senior Pastor of Bible Baptist Church in Chickasha, Oklahoma

Pastor Stephen Volante was born just outside Boston, but was raised in both Rhode Island and Western Massachusetts. He married his high school sweetheart Laurel Towne from Northampton, and trained to be an engineer at Holyoke Community College in Holyoke, Massachusetts. After working ten years in many types of building construction, Steve felt God’s call to the ministry. He received his training at Heritage Baptist Institute of the Bible, in New England.

During a mission’s conference in his home church pastored at that time by his father, John Volante, he surrendered to serve the Lord as a missionary wherever God would call him. On a mission’s trip to Ghana to visit John Hayes, God spoke clearly to Steve’s heart. He and Laurel left to serve the Lord in Ghana in August of 1995. God was mightily blessing the work, and many were receiving Christ as Savior. However, in March of 1997, God called Laurel home to glory. Steve returned to the USA broken wondering how God would help him raise their three dear children alone. Like only God can do, he brought Missionary Michelle Tilson into Steve’s life to help him live and dream again. They were married on August 29, 1998, and returned to Ghana a year later to continue the work God had entrusted to Steve’s care.

Pastor Stephen Volante was called to be the senior pastor of Bible Baptist Church in Chickasha, Oklahoma on July 1, 2019.
