So many of even our good churches i'm afraid, are spending much of our resources on stuff (buildings, etc) that is keeping us from what would be better- getting out there where the people are, and better supporting other ministries/fellowships that do this. Anyhow, thanks much. Ted Good stuff.

There is no truer elder, no deeper thinker, no encourager more sincere. Thanks for sharing a bit of him with us today!

although i did somehow always manage to sit at a table too close to the front and definitely felt SUPER short as he stood over me talking!

i will never forget walking into his class minutes after i had watched a plane crash into the world trade center on September 11, 2001 in the ACU campus center…and i was so thankful that it was his voice of wisdom and his prayerful heart that i heard immediately after witnessing that…

When I've heard him speak, the wisdom he exudes is so impressive. A real man of God. David Wray doesn’t know me from Adam, even though we’ve met.

I guess I am putting another tally mark on the board of one who will never forget my experience in David's class. All of you who are around him, drink it up for me! Thanks David and Mike for being a living witness of Jesus in this world. Thanks Mike,

The seeds planted there are moving many years of hardened soil and rock. I am currently being challenged once again by being in Dr. Wray's Church Administration class BIBM 694. Tremendous pastoral blessing. I too, am one of the many for whom God used Dr. Wray’s SF class to reveal transformation on many levels.

He was the same man in all three roles. He lives what he teaches and as he lives he teaches. My David had the blessing of being his GA while at ACU and it was a transformational experience for him. We count David and Jeanne as heart friends who we admire and respect deeply! I love too that David is such a learner - a lover of books and information but for the sole purpose of transformation and not knowledge gain.

He really has hit some big points that we need to address in ministry. I am teaching this semester at George Fox Evangelical Seminary which has the reputation of being Quaker and heavily focused on spiritual formation. The faculty and my students have really impressed upon me the need for spiritual development and convicted me of our movement's need to return to this method of maturity. Thanks Mike and David. Ron Clark Mike,
