For 21 years I've been on staff with Family Life Ministries in NY. Now we are following the Lord's leading to Midland Ministries in St. Joseph, Mo...the only "thing" holding us back is the sale of our house (yeah, you can pray if you haven't!)
Family Life is a wonderful ministry...and therefore this parting is bittersweet.
I especially will miss, though, the Bible quizzers that I've had the privilege of working with for the past couple decades.
The photos are part of our last Nationals trip together last month. Thankfully I'll be able to see some of these students annually as Midland also participates in the Bible Quiz Fellowship (www.biblequizfellowship.org) which facilitates the National Tournament.
In fact, part of my "job description" is writing a manual on our style of quizzing; and helping existing geographical areas grow and helping start new programs.
If you can, pray that the transition to new (if, perhaps interim) leadership for the quiz program in NY goes smoothly and in such a way that the quiz program not only survives, but thrives.

Quizzing is a good thing.
That manual should be pretty cool.
I e-mailed you once about my son who is very advanced for his age and yet still to young to be in Bible Quizzing. We joined a new church and on one particular Sunday Chris was given the task of memorizing the books of the bible to receive a $5 dollar gift certificate. He came out to church and said he had a week to learn it but he already knew them. So, following my direction he walked back into Sunday school class where the teacher was and recited them to her, much to her amazement, and he came bounding out so excited to know that he was going to get a $5 gift certificate. I think "your" bible quizzer's are awesome and you are doing wonders with them.
