Alumni of the Year 2007
Pastor, Servants of Christ. Tony (’70) and Sharon (’60) have a passion for bringing Christ to the lost and a deep love for people — both of which have led them to minister in twenty different countries through fifty years of marriage and ministry together. Tony is a graduate of CBC, CBS, and Luther Rice Seminary. From 1957 to 1989, he served as pastor for churches across the United States, one of which was a church plant. Tony is gifted in biblical exposition with practical application. In Jackson, Mississippi, he successfully led a Christian school to grow to 400 students. Sharon has served alongside her husband as a Christian school administrator, musician, library innovator and instructor, women’s speaker, and administrator of Tony’s over 840 sermon tapes, in addition to being a super spouse to him. In 1990, the Goulds made a radical shift, moving into full-time foreign missions with SIM. They served until 1997, training new church leaders through several Bible colleges, mostly in South Africa but also in Israel. Since their retirement, the Goulds return each year to teach at Union Bible Institute.
