MISSION SUNDAY MISSIONARIES
TRUTH FOR TODAY – Eddie Cloer
Eddie Cloer attended Harding University in
Searcy, Arkansas; Oklahoma Christian in
Oklahoma City; and Harding Graduate School
of Bible and Religion in Memphis,
Tennessee. He holds the Bachelor of Arts,
Master of Theology, and Doctor of Ministry
degrees. His doctoral thesis focused on
evangelistic preaching.
Having begun his preaching career at age fifteen, he has preached the gospel for over forty
years, serving congregations in Clarksville, Hot Springs, and Blytheville, Arkansas. He
has preached in more than 850 gospel meetings in thirty-five states of the USA, London,
England, Singapore, and Ukraine.
Truth for Today World Mission School in Searcy, Arkansas, is a multifaceted non-profit
organization dedicated to world evangelism. Directed by Eddie Cloer, a Gospel preacher,
Greek scholar, and retired theological professor, TFTWMS strives to teach faithfully the
Holy Scriptures of our Lord.
Truth for Today World Mission School, Inc., a Bible-oriented school, is overseen by a nine
-member board. Five of the board members are elders in the Lord's church, serving as
elders in three different churches of Christ. Of the four remaining members, one is a
financial officer, one is a retired gospel preacher, one is a retired missionary, one is a
schoolteacher, and one is a university professor. The board has free access to three solid
congregations (one is 1,400 members, one is 400 members, and one is 160 members) that
are very supportive of TFTWMS and can provide the collective wisdom of those
elderships. The board is surrounded by an advisory council that provides special expertise
and insight for the ongoing work of global outreach.
Experienced missionaries agree that the survival and spiritual growth of congregations
planted around the world may depend on the availability of printed Bible-study
materials. The primary focus of Truth for Today World Mission School, a monthly
publication called Truth for Today, is designed to address this need.
This publication is sent to tens of thousands of preachers and Bible teachers. Each issue is
the equivalent of a 150-page book. It is published twelve times a year and is mailed in
English to thousands of preaching brethren in many nations all over the globe.
