Brandon Buford worked for six years at the World Evangelism Center, the international headquarters of the United Pentecostal Church.  After graduating from Gateway College of Evangelism he continued to work during the week and began to evangelize on the weekends.  After six months of marriage, Brandon and Brianne decided to go full time into the evangelistic ministry.  For two and a half years, they traveled across America and even into Puerto Rico.  They conducted many district youth camps and revivals.  Their ministry consisted of a balanced adult, youth, and children's ministry. In 2004, they became the Youth Pastors of the First Apostolic Church.  Brandon also serves as the Ohio District Youth Department's Section Seven Leader.

Fred Kinzie soon after coming to the Lord was wholeheartedly involved in gospel work--in evangelism for almost ten years and then in 1953 he accepted the position as pastor of a small church in Toledo, Ohio.  Today a large congregation worships there.  In 1976, he became a member of the foreign missions board with the United Pentecostal Church International of which he is still an honorary member.  Since resigning as pastor in 1983, he has devoted himself to writing.  Thus far he has written four books, Strength through Struggle, Salvation in the Book of Acts, JOHN The Gospel That Had To Be Written and a Handbook on Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
