Interview with Bill Fray

Bill Fray is an '83 graduate of VFCC, and a father of 4. He worked in a home-church in the area while in college. He worked as a youth pastor in Connecticut for a while. Eventually, he was interviewed by Cardone. Because he had gone to a "Bible college" they thought he was good with people. They hired him in the HR department. I constantly think that many people truly use what they majored in in college.
Cardone is a business that remanufacturers auto parts. They call themselves a Christian company. Honoring God is one of their main aims, but they are also a business. Bill Fray is an HR rep, and that is apparent in the way he is careful about his language.
The class, really isn't that exciting, nor is it very helpful. He has talked almost entirely about the problems of being a Christian business. The only "helpful" thing said has been the cliche idea of the best way to evangelize is by your life / lifestyle. He didn't even explain how that is lived out. He should have some perspective on it being that he works with a ton of Christians.
"God's will is doing the best you can, right where you are at, right now" A quote from one of his professors that really impacted his life. That seems like a good idea, but it also wastes alot of energy. You must ALWAYS have a goal in mind. If you want to know God's will for your life seek revelation. Do your best where you are while you wait, but always have the futue in mind. "Always start with the end in mind."
Overall, it was nice as a buisness / self-motivation session, but i don't think it really belongs in a class that is desigen to prepare students to reach the unreached for Christ.
