We would like to introduce you this time to Mr. Tony Rupp, a good friend and faithful worker, who currently serves as our board’s vice president. Tony has been an active participant in many of our ministries, including taking several trips overseas.
    God used some very unusual circumstances to bring Tony and his family to himself. In 1990, he was working in the import / export business in West Africa when the Persian Gulf war erupted. Stranded in the country, and surrounded by Moslems (who told him to become a Moslem or face possible injury or death) he sequestered himself in his room, with nothing but a bed and a Bible. He read the Scriptures continuously for the full month that he was in this condition, and God used that to reveal his need for the Savior. Shortly after becoming a Christian, God opened the door for him to get out of the country and return to his home and newlywed wife, who also was brought to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
    Since that time, God has given Tony many opportunities to study the Scriptures, and then to apply what he learns in both teaching and counseling situations, endeavoring to lead people into a deeper understanding of their position in Christ, and the freedom that brings.
    Tony has been involved in banking for 18 years, and currently works with Genesis Commercial Services, providing home and commercial property financing.
    His drive to know and serve the Lord make Tony a very valuable member of the ENM board team. We are thankful for his service with and towards us, and look forward to continuing that for much time to come.
