    Tell us a little about yourself.  I have been serving the Lord in church music ministry for the past 50 years. My wife, Jean, and I have served churches in five denominations in eight states and Canada. I have also been a music faculty member of two Christian colleges and am the author of over 200 published articles on church music and related church ministry. Jean and I currently lead the music ministry at Pinehurst United Methodist Church in Pinehurst, NC.

    What was your motivation behind this project?  To pay tribute to God's blessings upon our 50 year adventure and to provide inspiration and encouragement to other church leaders, as well as Christians in general as they pursue their God-designed Adventure.

    What do you hope folks will gain from this project?  To glean ideas to spark their path and find moral support and the realization that they have not traveled certain roads alone. That they might hear the question, "Whom shall we send, and who will go for us?" and find themselves responding, "Here am I, Lord, send me." The book includes "What If" and "Can You Relate?" questions for thought and discussion.

    How were you personally impacted by working on this project?  Dramatically reminded of God's grace and leading throughout our 50 years. That we have simply a part of what God was up to over these 50 years.

    Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know:  That each Christian has a God-designed Adventure. ADVENTURE IN MUSIC MINISTRY can encourage them to be open to God's plan in their lives.
