Earlier this month I reported that Joshua One Ministries has received approval from the IRS as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. With that big step forward for our ministry comes the need for more formal oversight.  Toward that end, we have established a board of directors.
*  Rodney Heggy, an Oklahoma City attorney, is a director and has been named chairman of the board. Rod has been involved with Joshua One Ministries from its informal start in 2005 and has written many articles for this Joshua One blog. Rod is a member and a teacher at Christ’s Church of Yukon. Joshua One Ministries would not exist without Rod. You can read more about Rod here.
 * Roger Mannschreck, a retired IBM executive, also has joined us on the board of directors.  Roger is an elder at Edmond Christian Church, where he also serves as the church’s administrator. Roger is the one who originally proposed the idea of an online discipleship training program, which is now becoming a reality in the form of Discipleship University. Roger was also a team member on our evangelism trip to Costa Rica in January 2008 to support the work of Costa Rica For Christ. We are very grateful to Roger for agreeing to serve as an overseer of this work.
 * I am the third member of the board of directors. You can learn more about me here. Â
