1965 - Dr. Howard became a commercial artist at the NASA Manned Space Craft Center in Houston Texas. Later he worked in advertising art, and then became a free lance artist.
1974 - With 4 years of Life Insurance Sales, and public speaking added to his experience, Dr. Howard enrolled in Baptist Bible College in Springfield Missouri. While attending the College, he revised and taught the Chalk Talk class, and instituted the Audio Visual class at the school. On weekends Dr. Howard became involved with training the workers in the local Baptist Churches in the area, and the surrounding states. It was during this time that the ground work was being laid for Dr. Gene Howard’s Teaching Doodles ministry.
1977 - Dr. Howard graduated from Baptist Bible College, and for the past 20 years has been in the ministry full time, training the local church workers, and potential workers in the use of visuals. Thousands of Pastors Sunday School Teachers, Jr. Church Workers, and Christian School Teachers have been affected by this ministry. Dr. Howard and his wife Norma have been financially living by faith on love offerings for the last 23 years with the exception of 5 years that was spent as Educational Director for two Bible Baptist Churches. As a result of God’s blessings and their faithfulness, Dr. Howard’s visual teaching techniques and inventions are now being used by Missionaries in every continent of the world.

1991 - After being told by people for several years that he looked like and sounded like John Wayne, he launched into an additional evangelistic ministry to reach patriotic Americans. God gave him a message entitled “Freedom and Sacrifice” and delivers it in such settings as Baptist Churches, Veteran Hospitals, Military Bases, and even Festivals.

The message uplifts our Veterans and talks about the physical sacrifice that they made, and then it switches over and talks about the Spiritual Sacrifice that only Christ could make for us.

Dr. Howard has appeared at such functions as:
The John Wayne Convention in Akron Ohio with Pillar, John Wayne’s widow, and Harry Carry Jr. That played with John in 11 of his movies.
National Rifle Association national board of directors meeting in Nashville, Tennessee.
Veterans of Foreign Wars National Commanders Homecoming.
ESPN television
Texas Country Reporter
and countless other TV and radio interviews.
Parts in 2 movies to be filmed this year.

As an offspring of this ministry Dr. Howard started writing poems and recorded an album entitled “What Made America Great”. and a poem book entitled "A Collection Of Poems" He recites some of this poetry during his performances.
