Dr. Tolbert S. Moore is the founder and president
of The Gospel Preacher Association.
Believing that missionaries are to be sent from the
local church, in 1982 he established The GPA to make an
effort to help local churches send missionaries to their
prospective fields of service, giving local pastors the
opportunity to be more a part in their missionary’s
ministry.
He, himself, has a great burden for the country of
Wales, where The Gospel Preacher Association
has had a total 11 missionary families serve since
1982. God has blessed this work and many wonderful
things have been accomplished in this land–once known as
the land of revival. The GPA has a Bible College
in Wales and has two nationals serving as pastors in
their own country.
Recently Dr. Moore resigned as Pastor of Galilean
Baptist Church in Lawrenceville, Georgia after serving
25 years as their pastor. Galilean Baptist Church is
the home of The GPA. Now 80 years old, Dr. Moore and
his wife, Miss Nellie, reside in Grayson,
Georgia, and he continues to preach, publish The
Eagle, and help whenever called upon. Once again
going out in missionary status, he is available
to help and say, "Yes, I will come" to whomever calls–as
time and circumstance permits.
Dr. Moore is the editor of
The Eagle magazine which will be published
quarterly in 2009 and has a circulation of well over
6,000. This magazine is a mission effort to help
preachers and laymen alike and is sent free of charge
upon request. The Eagle magazine is financed by
free will offerings and has been published in magazine
format since 1999. You can read
The Eagle on this
web site.
Having been an ordained Baptist preacher for 62 years, Dr. Moore has always had a heart for preachers. With
his vast experience as pastor, evangelist, and
missionary he devotes much of his efforts to helping
preachers and churches across America. In recent years
The GPA (as a result of Dr. Moore’s desire to bring
refreshing and renewal to local congregations as well as
preachers from surrounding area) has held GPA Camp
Meetings in churches in America and Canada. He has
also established the Appalachian Baptist Fellowship
Meeting to bring together the hundreds of preachers
and pastors in Appalachia who make up a great number of
the churches in America. Be sure to check the
Itinerary section of this web site for upcoming
meetings which might be in your area.
It is Dr. Moore’s prayer that God will bless you in
your efforts to spread the Gospel in the place you
serve Him. No matter who you are or what the size of
your work, his desire in establishing this web site is
to help you remain faithful to your calling in
the great Cause of Christ.
