   "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as You are in Me and I am in You.

   I continue to serve as Free Methodist Denominational Statistician and Webmaster. The local FM churches here don't offer quizzing; I am an active coach in the Ohio Valley District of the C&MA church with whom my daughter just finished quizzing as a junior (5th grade) quizzer.



10. What ministries are you currently doing? How are you presently active in serving the Lord?
    I have just finished my third term as a lay elder in our local church. I serve as the volunteer network administrator for our church (12 PCs). I am a weekly adult leader in our church's children's ministry called "Exploration Station". I am a greeter in regular rotation and serve as a small group leader.
