Pastor Arnold Murray was born in 1929.
Pastor Arnold Murray, proudly served our country in the United States Marine Corps as a combat Marine serving in Korea, he made the Incheon landing and survived the Chosin Reservoir Campaign. During the campaign ; out numbered, his unit went up against many thousands of Chinese soldiers . Fighting in 30 degrees below freezing temperatures . He is part of the Chosin Few.
He also enjoyed working with his machinery on his farm. Pastor A.M was an instrument rated airplane pilot, and he enjoyed flying his entire life.
Soon after he started teaching the Bible from his home. I hear the church started with as few as a 100 members.
God blessed the church, and it continued to grow. They aired for the first time, in 1982. That was the year I was born.
As pastor of the Shepherd’s Chapel Church, located in Gravette, Arkansas, he built the largest independent Christian television network in the world. He also served a President of the Shepherd’s Chapel Network.
I'm sure God was guiding him his entire life. Though he'd might say he'd be lucky if he gets to hold the tools of the apostles in heaven" .
He has never taken a salary for teaching God's words. He held many Jobs, and worked on his farm through his entire life. He was even a post master general.
There are no fund raising efforts in any of the broadcast. The full hour is dedicated to teaching the Bible.
Every moment of the broadcast is spent teaching the Bible , in a verse by verse, chapter by chapter method .
Every book of the Bible is taught in detail. Half the hour is spent teaching the Bible, the other half is dedicated to answering questions about the bible, that people write in to be answered live on air. No questions is screened.
Bible, and related questions are asked.
It takes about 5 years to fully teach, in depth the Bible this way through the broadcast. And then the process is repeated teaching it all again.
Though Pastor Arnold Murray has returned to the Father .His ability to teach the Bible will live on in the recorded audio/video ministry that was built up over the many years; continuing to edify millions of people hungry for God's words.
