A preacher, teacher and minister are all basically the same thing. The prophet is someone used by God to deliver a message to God's people.

Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
Apostles, generally carry all of the spiritual gifts.
Pastor carry different gifts could be teacher, evangelist
Evangelist usually have some other gift like healing, or miracles, but they preach the basic salvation message.
Prophets usually tell what is happening for the future. A prophet now days would be proclaiming that the things happening in the news are announcing the second coming of Christ.
Teacher could be anyone from Sunday school teacher to anyone that teaches from simple to complicated
The words minister and preacher are not specific,. Anyone that ministers would be called a minister, and preacher, a new christian could preach the salvation message. But the gifts as listed are pretty specific.

Preachers, Teachers, Ministers, Pastors, Priests and whatnot are all the same thing. Different religions have their own ways of addressing their 'teachers in Christ'. Healers are people who heal in the name of Christ. I personally think Jesus was the one and only true "Healer". And a prophet of God are people who tell the future, but not through like a chrystal ball or anything. They get their insight from God Himself. Some examples would be the prophet Isaiah or Moses. Hope this answers your question.

A preacher stands before a crowd and tells them of God's will.
A teacher explains how God's will works.
A minister explains God's love to help heal your soul.
A prophet speaks of God's truth and is never wrong.
You can be all of the above, or just one, depends on your religion and calling.

I think they may be very simillar.
Preachers preach (tell the word of God)
Teachers teach (see help people learn)
Ministers are ordained teachers/preachers
Healers heal (duh!)
Prophets offer the word of God to the people
Oh, but Priests are special. Priests offer sacrafices. You will really only find them in Christanity in the Greek Orthodox and Catholic Churches.

Different titles in different churches. In the Bible the list is:
Apostle - Those sent by God - could refer to missionaries
Prophets - those who proclaim truth -
Teaches - Those who explain truth
Pastors - Those who shepherd the flock. - minister also used
Preachers - Those who evangelize (preach gospel as primary ministry)
Healers - Present day term - No real healers in the Bible

Preacher tells you what to do. Same as a minister.
Teacher tells you how to do it.
Healer can heal.
Prophet can predict or declare things ahead of time.

All of them give their own interpretation of the bible, and half the time they know not what they do.
