Evangelist Benjamin Burks

Evangelist Burks is a Bible school graduate and has worked as an Assistant Pastor, Senior Pastor, and Staff Evangelist. He has been in ministry since 1984, and has watched through the years as family, friends, and acquaintances have had their lives wrecked because of the many addictions that Satan uses to destroy lives. He has seen the destruction up close and from afar, and grew tired of watching lives and families destroyed. God has given to him a burden and a tool to help people who are held captive by their addictions and stubborn habits. “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)

Evangelist Mike Cinereski

Missions Pastor, Worth Baptist Church, and Missionary to Ghana West Africa

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.

Steve is currently serving as the mission’s pastor here at Worth Baptist Church, while serving as the General Director and African Director for Mount Abarim Baptist Missions. Steve still serves as the senior pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, in Techiman dividing his time between the USA and Africa.

Taylor Gillaspie was born and raised in Cleburne, TX. He was brought up in a Christian home and attended public school.

At sixteen, he returned to the Lord and began to grow spiritually, serve at his church and witness at his public high school. A year later he was called to preach. Through Bible college and summer ministries God confirmed in his heart the specific call to full-time evangelism and revival work. Today he travels the country preaching the Bible in churches, Christian schools and camps. Taylor and his wife, Jessica, have been married for five years and are sent out of Gospel Light Baptist Church in Rogers, AR.

Clyde went home to be with Jesus, Saturday, March the 18th. He was born Feb 6, 1932 and grew up in Oak Cliff, Texas. Many years later in his twenties his life would be changed forever by two different events. The first being that he would meet the woman that would become his wife and "his Betty". She was the love of his life and his world revolved around her. They would spend more than 6 decades together with a special love for each other that was evident to anyone that was in their presence. The second event happened at the age of 28 when the Lord saw Clyde and whispered in his ear "Come follow me". He answered that call and followed the Lord from that moment forward. It was a decision that not only changed Clyde's life forever but also impacted the thousands of lives that he would come in contact with in his ministry over the next 57 years.

Clyde was the founder and pastor of Brook Hollow Baptist Church in DeSoto, Texas. His aggressive and compassionate ministry experienced enormous growth and blessings from its very conception in January of 1967. From a humble beginning of 65, the Sunday school grew to average more than 1,200 attendants. This was largely due to Clyde’s leadership and emphasis on evangelism. For this reason he was also responsible for more than 25 young men preaching and pastoring around the United States with more than a dozen in the mission field. He loved the Lord with his whole heart and wanted to share it with as many people as he could. Dr. Box was known an evangelist preacher and was highly regarded for his work in Bible Conferences across America. Clyde also wrote several books to include the Folded Napkin and the Poetry of Preaching that shared some of his most loved sermons and poetry that will continue his legacy of sharing God's Word forever.

Clyde had a large family that he enjoyed spending time with very much. He loved to spoil his four girls who were all the subjects of his attention every chance he got. Family time was at the top of his list and he loved family gatherings where everyone came to enjoy the company of each other and grow closer. He and Betty knew how to entertain and make you feel at home when you were at their house. Meme could cook some of the most delicious food and give hugs that would melt your heart while Clyde would work the room entertaining with stories and laughter.

He was one of those people that drew you to him like gravity. When you met him you could not help but to love him because it was evident the love that he had for you. He was Clyde to many but Papa to most everyone because no matter who you were he made you feel like family. His incredible life full of love for the Lord, love for his Betty and his family, along with all of the amazing people, places and stories can only be explained by the touch of the Masters Hand. The napkin is still folded and we will see you again Papa.

Dr. Crabb was born and raised in Southeast Michigan. He was raised in a Christian home by his parents, Pastor George and Donna Crabb. He became a believer in the Lord Jesus when he was 13 years of age. He graduated from Christian school education in 1983 and pursued an undergraduate degree in Biology at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. During his undergraduate studies the Lord called him to preach. He immediately submitted to that call and started serving the Lord with his father who was the Senior Pastor of Antioch Baptist Church in Warren Michigan.

After finishing his undergraduate studies he was accepted in 1986 to Des Moines University – College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery in Des Moines, Iowa. While obtaining his medical degree he continued to remain active in the local church in teaching and preaching the Bible.

After completing his training and becoming a Board Certified Internist, Dr. Crabb entered private practice in the Metro-Detroit area. For the next 14 years Dr. Crabb practiced medicine and assisted his father (and pastor) in the ministry. It was during this time that God lead him to have a specific interest in Addiction Medicine. Dr. Crabb took special courses to further his knowledge in this area of medicine including comprehensive courses that certified him by the Drug Enforcement Agency. This allowed him the ability to treat patients with a medicine called Suboxone. It was also during this time that God lead him to write his first book, “Just Say Know, God’s Answer to Addiction.” (Published by Reformers Unanimous International)

During this same time Dr. Crabb and his father introduced a new ministry to Antioch Baptist Church called Reformers Unanimous International (RU). RU is a faith based addictions program which helps churches reach out to their communities in order to help the addicted and their families.

Through Reformers Unanimous coming to his church Dr. Crabb became acquainted with RU’s Founder and President Steven Curington. God wonderfully developed a friendship between these two men and they began working together to minister to the addicted across our nation and even our world. Dr. Crabb currently practices Internal Medicine and Addiction Medicine in Naples, Florida.

He is a member of the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the American Osteopathic Academy of Addiction Medicine and the Christian Medical Dental Association. He continues to work very closely with RU as their Staff Physician and Medical Advisor. Dr. Crabb has authored numerous books on drug addiction, pornography and depression.

ADRIAN Originally from Morehead City, NC, Adrian Burden was saved in a junior service at Grace Baptist Church and completed his education in their Christian school. At the age of 16, while at The Wilds Christian Camp, God called him to preach. He followed God’s call to Pensacola Christian College, from which he graduated with an undergraduate degree in ’06 and a Master’s in Biblical Exposition and in ‘08.

Along the way, Adrian counseled at the Bill Rice Ranch and traveled with a ministry called Truth Alive, both ofwhich provided invaluable experience with youth and teen ministry. He also spent three years assisting a church planting ministry in Mobile, AL, under Pastor Chester Keith. Thanks to this practical experience, he can now run a VBS, a teen rally, or a Sunday service with equal proficiency.

Upon graduation, Adrian set out with just $36 in his bank account and a booking for one solitary meeting in South Dakota. Since then, God has provided. Rather than cold-calling churches to introduce themselves, the family prays that their ministry will prompt pastors to refer them to other places where their gifts may be used.

Domestic and international camp work, vacation Bible schools, youth campaigns and conferences, revival services, back-to-school revivals, hosting mission trips, overseas youth ministry—God has opened all these avenues and more for Burden Ministries to invest in this generation. For the majority of their meetings, they travel as a family, just thrilled to serve the Lord together!

Evangelism is needed everywhere; and in 2015, God placed it on the family’s hearts to learn Spanish. Adrian, Tabitha, and the girls have been blessed to impact the Spanish speaking community, both at home and overseas!
