Albert Pendarvis is more commonly known as The Old Trailblazer which is the name of a Christian broadcast on which he appears. Most of the material he reads on the broadcast was written by Pastor L. R. Shelton, Sr.

Pendarvis is the pastor of Radio Missions, a ministry formerly based in Algiers, New Orleans, United States. The founder of this ministry was L. R. Shelton, Sr.. Pendarvis is the fifth pastor of this ministry.

The overall ministry is named Radio Missions. The church itself is called the First Baptist Church of Algiers. The church formerly met in the Metropolitan Tabernacle (a former vaudeville theater in Algiers). Two international radio broadcasts (in America, Northern Ireland, and now shortwave) originate from the ministry: the Voice of Truth (a weekly thirty-minute broadcast of Shelton, Sr.'s messages) and the Old Trailblazer (a weekday 15-minute broadcast by Pendarvis). The local church broadcasts its two Sunday morning services (the Bible School of the Air and the Worship Hour) on WLNO in New Orleans and all of its services on the Internet. In addition, the ministry operates in several other areas, including a bookstore called the Radio Bible and Bookroom which sells Bibles and Christian books.
