Celtic Anabaptist Ministries
CAC Pastors - Page 3
The CAC is pleased to announce the following persons ordained or received as pastors/ministers by our Communion:
We have been hearing from people from all over the country and overseas who are interested in our growing fellowship. The CAC has truly become an international communion!
Note: This list is in no particular order.
Tom Landgraf
Tom and his wife, Gail, reside in Birmingham,
Alabama. As a deacon in the Charismatic
Episcopal Church, Tom has taught many Bible
studies, preached many sermons, served on the
rector's council, served as the Director of Christian
Education and has been involved with pastoral
ministries. The CAC is very happy to have Tom
and Gail as part of the CAC family. In Tom's own
words: "I see myself, as a priest, organizing a new
fellowship that embraces a liturgical form of worship
but enjoys freedom from the bondage of an elevated
hierarchy that rules from a distance. My heart is
heavy for the many people I know, who are searching
for an alternative to the Episcopal Church, which has
lost its way. I believe my ministerial calling will
provide a safe place where they will find peace and
enjoy Christian fellowship again."

In Abraham's words:
"I am a Kenyan citizen ministering at Kapsabet, Kenya.
I am the lecturer and deputy principal of AIC KAPSABET BIBLE COLLEGE [KBC] here at Kapsabet, Kenya. I am married to Leah and we are blessed with two children, Isaac [5 years old] and Faith [5 months old]. I gave my life to Christ on 17th August 1990 and after God's call I took a Theology course at Scott Theological College as from April 1995 to March 1999. I graduated with a Bachelor of Theology Degree [Bth]. I served as a pastor with the Africa Inland Church and in 2001 September I became a teacher here at KBC. We are an Evangelical college; the college was started by Africa Inland Mission [AIM] missionaries in 1954. We have an alumni of over 1200 and most of them are pastors in AIC churches and other evangelical denominations in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania and Sudan. We thank God for this. At the moment we have 92 students on campus taking a 4-year diploma course in Bible and pastoral studies.
