Jay and Patti first met in the 1980's when they were preparing for a Spireno Singers mission trip sponsored by Whitesburg Baptist Church. They later reconnected at a small church called “Freedom House” about 3 years ago. After a lifetime of searching, they found each other and enjoyed great joy together. Jay spent much of his time digging deep into the scriptures and sharing what he learned through various social media platforms. His primary interest in the recent years was to unlock scriptural truths and share what he had learned.
