Team Member Profiles

Jay Moyers

I am a banker. At Arapahoe Road Baptist Church I am the class leader for Adult 4 class and leader for the mission team. I am excited about returning to Hungary as we have a wonderful relationship with our IMB missionaries, Rob & Robin Brown and Larry & Melinda Ewing. Please pray that I will have the opportunity to share the good news with those we meet in the airport, fellow passengers on every leg of our trip and those in Hungary.

Lee O'Briant

I am a pastor at Arapahoe Road Baptist Church. I'm married and have three wonderful children. My prayer is that God will use me in a mighty way and that seeds will be sown.

Kathy Peterson

In the working world I am a Job Development Specialist at the Community College of Denver in the Computer Training for People with Disabilities Program. In church I teach the two year olds in Sunday School and am a member of the Arapahoe Road Baptist Church choir.

The language is a real barrier. Please pray for increased language skills to show more effectively the plan of salvation.
