This is our first installment of our blog series that will feature and introduce God's servants from around the world. I pray that God will be glorified. I hope that many will add these precious servants to their prayer list. I want the redeemed to be encouraged and inspired by what it is God is doing in and through the lives of those who will be featured. When God's desires are our desires we should dream big and allow God to shape us for the work he has called us to do. That is life at its best. It may not always be easy. There will be hard work involved and testing will surly come, but it will be a life lived and not just time endured.
I heard Pastor Todd Bell preach the chapel service at this years shar-a-thon for WGCR at Anchor Baptist Church. I spoke to him for just a few minutes after he preached. I am drawn to people who have a love For the Lord Jesus Christ. I am not speaking of a lazy ember, but a heavenly flame that burns like a flame thrower! I like that! It blesses me! It wakes up a room! It is excitement not based upon pure emotion, but excitement that has it's foundations in the God of the Word and the Word of God. Let's pray for Pastor Bell and his family. I hope you are blessed and inspired by all that God is doing through them.
In reference to what God has called him to do, Pastor Bell recently told me, "My life! Been doing this for over 25 years. Love it!" Two words, as obvious as they may seem, stand out- life and love.
Pastor Todd Bell was born on October 20, 1969, in Lakeland, Florida. He and his wife, Amy, have four children, Elisabeth, Benjamin, Cherith and Abigail. Todd was saved at the age six under the preaching of J.B. Buffington in Lakeland, Florida. He received a Bachelor of Theology degree from Trinity Baptist Bible Institute in Asheville, North Carolina in May 1994.
In 1994, God called Todd and Amy Bell to the state of Maine to plant Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches. After eighteen months of deputation, in January 1996 they moved to East Millinocket, Maine where they started and established the Tri Town Baptist Church. In August 2000, under Pastor Bell’s leadership, the Tri Town Baptist Church started the Church Hill Baptist Church in Augusta, Maine. Since that time the Church Hill Baptist Church has continued planting churches and also is sending preachers out to take struggling churches and bring them back to God honoring churches. A total of four churches have been helped or started under Church Hill Baptist.
In 1998, God burdened Todd’s heart for “Reaching the Next Towns”. This burden and vision birthed the Wings with the Word, Inc. aviation ministry. With the use of airplanes, Todd has been able to start and establish more than one church at time. He also uses the aviation ministry to encourage and edify other Men of God all over the New England area.
In August 2003, the Bell family moved to Sanford, Maine where they started and are currently establishing the Calvary Baptist Church. Under the leadership of Pastor Bell, the Calvary Baptist Church has started the Island Baptist Church on the island of Islesboro, Maine and the First Baptist Church of Jackman in Jackman, Maine. In 2010 God burdened Todd to start the Sanford Christian Academy. Numerous children have been educated in a Godly atmosphere. Pastor Bell also leads his congregations to support missions through faith-promise giving, and to love reaching the world with the Gospel. His church is active in soul-winning, discipleship, and training servants of the Lord.
Pastor Bell has faithfully served the Lord since 1989 when God called him to preach. Todd and his family have joyfully served the Lord in Maine for almost 18 years.
