August Saturday Breakfast - August 8th, 7:30

Meet Dr. Barry from DeBary

That is Dr Wayne Barry of Community UMC in DeBary, FL.  Dr Barry became involved in missions work in Haiti before and after the earthquake struck.  Dr. Barry, a physician from a Jewish family, came to know and accept Jesus Christ as his Savior.  He helped set up medical work teams in Haiti through the University of Central Florida, Living in Faith, and Double Harvest at a farm outside Port-au-Prince where thousands of victims of the earthquake were treated.  He and his family helped his daughter Caryn rally their church behind sending thousands of pairs of shoes to Haiti.

Dr. Barry is an active member of DeBary’s Men’s Bible Study Team and received inspiration at a number of Men’s retreats at Leesburg.

His call to Haiti came in a vision of “someone in a white robe” appearing to him a year before the earthquake.  He’s made a number of visits with his family and his pastor to Haiti since.

Speakers;  Wiley Short and Bishop Swanson:  Bishop Swanson

Rev Riley Short retired as Senior Pastor of First UMC, Lakeland, and is also a past teacher of Preaching at Asbury Theological Seminary in Orlando.  He is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and Candler School of Theology and has Doctorates from Bethune Cookman College and Florida Southern College.  His story telling ability is his specialty and he is a master at using this ability to teach Biblical truths. This gift has also made him a favorite speaker

Bishop James Swanson Sr., Bishop Swanson uses his gift of knowing how to work with people of divergent opinions while at the same time keeping focused on the goal at hand.  The church has a mission to make a difference in the world.  I want to see the church having fun doing that, that’s my dream.  Whether we want to admit it or not, God made us diverse.  None of us is the same.  But while race and ethnicity matter, they should never be elevated in the Christian community and the Kingdom of God…(and) they pale in the comparison to the fact we’re brothers and sisters in Christ.  That’s paramount in my life.  I’m a child of God.  I like to say, `We need to catch the fish before we can clean them.’"

Worship Leader: Ross Kimura Ross Kimura - A native of Hawaii, Ross has lived in New York City, where he studied at Julliard School of Music.  He has a masters in piano and op-era orchestrations and has played at the Paris, London, and Milan Conservatories.  Ross can bring Life to Traditional Hymns in a way that would make Charles and John Wesley and Cokesbury want to sing along.

October 23rd Special Enrichment Speaker:  Harold Lewis Harold Lewis - Harold was ordained in the MS Annual Conference.  For the past 10 years he has served as Senior Pastor of the Lincoln Park UMC in Washington, D.C.  His special interests include spending quality time with his family, reading, jogging, traveling abroad, motivational speaking, performing stand-up comedy, meeting new people and just having fun.  He and his wife, Janet, have seven children and His personal coined philosophy on life is "Never let any negative opinions of you be -come your reality."
