Pleasant Methodist Church NOTE:I grew up in Charlotte, NC. I loved playing soccer in high school and was able to get a scholarship to Bryan College in Dayton TN. I played and lettered in soccer during my four years there and had a blast. Post college, I worked several jobs including being a US Army veteran. After playing “Jonah” and trying to ignore God’s call on my life, I answered His call to full-time ministry. I enrolled at Duke Divinity School where I got my Master of Divinity degree & became an Elder in the United Methodist Church. That is some of the boring stuff, here are some Q & A’s you might find more interesting: How did you meet your spouse? Jana and I met at the high school where we were both teaching in Charlotte, NC. I tried to impress her by taking her food tray up in the school cafeteria. What is your greatest joy in ministry? I enjoy seeing people’s lives changed through the power of the Holy Spirit and how they grow closer to God in their daily walk with Him. What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Trying to play golf, watching a good movie and traveling. If you could invite anyone in history to your birthday party, who would you gather to celebrate? Adam & Eve, Noah, Job, Tim Hawkins, Harry Houdini, Daniel Boone, Amelia Earhart, Hezekiah Alexander What is your life verse? Give and it shall be given unto you, pressed down, shaken together. For whatever measure you deal out to others, it will be dealt to you in return. Luke 6:38 What is your favorite book or passage in the Bible? My favorite passage is Luke 2. My favorite book is James. What music do you like to listen to? The Monkees’ greatest hits and other “bubblegum rock” songs, Sheppard, ELO, Fleetwood Mac, REO, one-hit-wonder songs, Barry Manilow, James Taylor, and various Christian Artists. If you could visit any country and share the gospel, where would you go? -- I have had the privilege to share the Gospel in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Sierra Leone & Ghana (West Africa). But I would like to go to the Cook Islands and New Zealand. TEL;TYPE=WORK,VOICE:704-483-3087 TEL;TYPE=WORK,FAX: N:Byron Alexander ADR;TYPE=WORK:;;;;;; END:VCARD
