The David Anguish Writing Ministry

As he takes the next step in pursuit of a dream more than forty years in the making, David Anguish, an active member and Bible class teacher at College Church, is seeking support to sustain and expand his writing ministry. The elders are endorsing and “supporting this effort by assisting with fundraising and managing contributions.”
Blessed with the talent and early encouragement to do so, David has always seen writing as an important part of his ministry. Inspired by a chapter in Michael Green’s Evangelism in the Early Church, in which the author showed that the church engaged in “literary evangelism” along with public preaching, household evangelism, and personal outreach, David has, since first reading Green’s book in the early 1980s, looked forward to one day focusing on writing as his primary work of service.
A sixth generation preacher whose roots go back to the Restoration, David has been blessed with a proclivity for analysis. Throughout his ministry, he has focused on “apologetics,” not merely as a synonym for Christian Evidences, but as a response to any question requiring an “explanation” or “reasoned defense.” Encouraged by feedback that confirms that the written word’s influence can extend beyond a specific time and place, he works to prepare substantive materials useful for informing the world and equipping believers for service (cf. Eph. 4:11–12).
After serving 41 years in the Atlanta and Memphis areas as a minister and Bible teacher in a Christian high school, circumstances presented an opportunity for David to pursue his dream. Fully supported in this goal by his wife, Carlynn, they moved to Searcy in 2015. When, after just under 40 years of marriage, Carlynn succumbed to cancer and passed away in 2017, David continued to pursue the dream they had shared.
His writing ministry includes his website, a resource where visitors can explore hundreds of archived lessons and articles, order one of his books, enroll for a free subscription to one of his newsletters, or schedule a seminar on practical apologetics. His ministry is a solitary work of study and writing, requiring self-discipline to meet self-imposed deadlines.
Since much of his content is offered free of charge, he must seek financial support for his work. Fundraising does not come naturally to him, but is necessary in order to sustain his ministry of teaching (cf. 1 Cor. 9:3–12; 1 Tim. 5:18).
