Right; from Paul's letters that are read in public we catch a glimpse of his public and sometimes private life.
However the warning not to create factions (1 Corinthians 1:12-13) and the positive injunction to preach Christ and Him crucified (the heart of the gospel) should make ministers reticent to refer to themselves from the pulpit.
For myself, it is a rare occasion indeed.
