Aaron
I grew up in a Christian home but had no personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I was saved in 1996, at the age of 21. Shortly after my salvation, God began working in my heart about ministry. In 1997, I attended Bob Jones University and graduated in 2000 with an undergraduate degree. I finished a Master’s degree in 2005. I have been traveling in itinerant ministry since 2002. For three years I traveled with the Steve Pettit Evangelistic Team helping to run the teen outreach and children’s program. After Stephanie and I got married in 2005, we began traveling with Will and Christy Galkin. We traveled with them for four years and assisted them with music and youth outreach. In September of 2010, God allowed us to begin traveling itinerantly on our own. Our team is made up of our four children--Ella (9/23/07), Asher (10/4/09), Liam (6/13/11) and Jobe (9/28/2014). "Our desire for churches is that they would be growing in the knowledge and grace of God and actively pursuing relationships around them to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ." |

Hudson Sanders
Hudson is from Allegany, NY. His primary role on the team is coordinating the teen ministry, and he also manages the website and helps Aaron coordinate meetings. He graduated from Bob Jones University with a bachelor's degree in Biblical Counseling in 2020. Hudson loves to go fishing in his spare time and is passionate about helping teens grasp what following Jesus really means, specifically through discipleship and evangelism. He hopes to one day become a teen counselor in a secular field and use that opportunity as a platform for church planting.
"I'm really looking forward to being a part of the team this year! I had the privilege of spending time with the Coffey family this summer during a Spread The Word internship, and I was blessed by their examples and their willingness to love and serve people. I'm excited to see how Christ works in us as we serve Him together!”

“It is so humbling that the Lord has allowed me the unique opportunity to travel and minister with the Coffey team. In my short time on the team, I have already so visibly seen The Lord work in my life, in other team members, and also the churches that we’ve been ministering to. I am so looking forward to the coming months on the road and all of the experiences that will take place!”

Mike Haynes
Mike lives in Detroit, MI; he graduated from Bob Jones University in May, 2020 with a bachelor's degree in Church Music. He enjoys reading non-fiction, running, and riding roller coasters, but most of all he loves to build relationships with people. He is passionate about sharing the hope he has in his merciful Savior. His primary roles on team are Music Director and Service Planner; he also manages vehicle maintenance and packing the trailer.
“I’m especially looking forward to traveling with the team this year. God is building His Church—it will be successful. Traveling, then, will so encourage my heart not so much seeing locations or places, but seeing gospel laborers—brothers and sisters—and their efforts in the advance of the gospel for the glory of God. Many lessons lay on the road ahead, no doubt, but am excited for the opportunity.”
