Walter accepted Christ as Savior as a young boy at a vacation bible school and in his late twenties dedicated his life to serving Jesus as Lord in all areas of his life.
He has been a member of evangelical churches for the past 35+ years, serving in numerous leadership positions including 8 years as an Elder. He has taught adult sunday schools for more than 10 years and for the past 14 years led the Executive Ministries (Campus Crusade for Christ) men's bible study at Drew University, Madison, NJ. He is currently active in several ministries in northern NJ.
Professionally, he was employed by New Jersey Bell and Bellcore for 30 years. In 1993 he accepted an early retirement and joined the Market Street Mission in Morristown NJ, an evangelical ministry to homeless addicted men, as its Development Director. He later became the Chief Executive for the American Red Cross of Northern NJ. In 2002, in part for his work in lower Manhattan following the attacks of 9/11, he was awarded the Red Cross’ National Tiffany Award as the top professional from among the organization’s 35,000 employees. From January 2005 until he retired in July 2008 he was the Executive Director of the New Jersey Business Force, an initiative of the Business Executives for National Security (BENS).

Flemming was privileged to grow up in a Christian home but still had to come to faith himself by God’s leading. After making the decision as a boy to accept Jesus as Savior, he continued to grow in his understanding of service and commitment; as well as his role as an adult in growing the Kingdom of the Lord. He has been honored to serve in various evangelical churches over the years on many boards and committees. He has been involved in church planting, development, finance, music and elder duties over the past 25 years. Flemming has a BS in Civil Engineering.

Dan Fry
Network Officer
After graduating from high school (Cortez, CO) in 1961, I headed over to the eastern slope to play football at a junior college for a year and then at Colorado School of Mines, along with obtaining a degree in Metallurgical Engineering. Shortly after being employed by a mining chemicals company in New Jersey, I was confronted with a major issue of choosing to follow Christ or continuing on my own path. The appropriate answer to my dilemma was obvious, and I submitted to Him. Subsequent to that event, I served in the Army for two years and then moved back to NJ to marry and raise a family. Along with that, I obtained a Masters Degree in Business and worked in engineering, sales and marketing with several companies engaged in hydraulic and drilling equipment. Joyce and I have been especially blessed to have three children, Sean, Todd & Leslie who are all married; between Sean and Leslie we also have seven grandkids.
I have also engaged in various ministries, including a military service men’s center while in the Army and two churches since being discharged in 1969. Involvements included; Leader and Participant in Men’s Small Groups; Head of Men’s Ministry; Various Adult SS Classes; Boys Brigade; Elder Board. Joyce, and I have enjoyed meeting and entertaining missionaries and leaders from other ministries over the years of our marriage, sometimes having them stay at our house for a few nights.
I have just completed the Volunteer Apologist course during this summer, which was challenging but very enjoyable. And, in working along with the other leaders in the NY/NJ area, I hope to see a growth in our influence and attendance of sessions.
