Ted Knight began preaching the gospel in February 1959 and continues to do so today.  He and his late wife, Barbara, did local work with nine different congregations in Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, and their native Arkansas.  Following a 32-year period of working as a pulpit minister and serving 10 years as an elder for the church in Greenbrier, Arkansas, he transitioned to full-time evangelism and mission work in 1991. He and Barbara traveled to 32 states preaching the gospel.

In June 1995, they made their first mission trip to Pitesti, Romania and began a work in Eastern Europe that continues to this day.  Since 2007, Ted has provided leadership for the work being done with the church in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
