Horsemen for Christ

   Joe Howard Williamson founded the Horsemen for Christ ministry over 14 years ago with the help of a small group of men and women who had a desire to see people brought to Christ. Through the years Joe Howard has spoken at hundreds of chapel services, school assemblies and prisons. He has a dynamic testimony about his personal experience of knowing God through Jesus Christ and how God saved him from a life of drugs and alcohol. He is able to communicate to the students that there is hope, no matter what the circumstances.

   Joe Howard was licensed to preach in 1995, and is a staff evangelist at First Baptist Church in Archer City, Texas.

   Joe Howard lives on the historic Switch House Ranch in Archer County, Texas, with his lovely wife, Tracy, and their three children. He has been involved in the horse industry for over 30 years. He currently is a competitor in the NCHA Non-Pro division, where in the past several years he has been a world finalist, winning the World Championship in 1999 and twice more in the last ten years for a total of three. He has also been inducted into the NCHA Non-Pro division Hall of Fame.

    Brian began serving as Staff Pastor and Operations Manager for HFC Ministries in January of 2009. He has served as Senior Pastor of Greenwood Baptist Church in Weatherford since September of 2002. Prior to coming here, he served for 10 years at the First Baptist Church of Rogers, Arkansas as Associate Pastor of Sudents. Since recognizing God's call to vocational ministry in 1986, Brian has served in 5 different churches in 3 states. 
    It was while serving as College/Singles pastor in Ada, Oklahoma that he met Carrie, his bride and partner in ministry for eighteen years. Brian and Carrie have three children, Taylor, 11, Madison, 8, and Braxton, 22 months, all three of whom are adopted. Taylor, who has Down's syndrome, was born in Brian's hometown of Jacksonville, Fla. The story of how he came to their home is an amazing testimony to the faithfulness of God. Madison is a miracle story in her own right and Braxton was the unexpected blessing. Brian says that the circumstances of the arrival of his children are some of the most significant times of their lives in their journey with the Lord.
    Brian loves to preach and is committed to communicating the Word of God in a manner that is engaging and easy to understand. He believes that if you hear a sermon and don't know what to do with it in every day life, it is a failure. Brian has a degree in Theology and is a devoted learner. In his free time, he loves to rope and ride. Carrie has a passion for seeing the lives of women transformed by the power of Christ and serves as the Women's Ministry Leader at Greenwood Baptist Church.
