Trusting God is a spiritual pilgrimage.
Don’t make the journey to eternity alone.

New England
Christian Roots
Christian Roots
In the early Colonial days of our country New England was very religious. Ivy league colleges like Dartmouth and Harvard were established to promote Christianity.
Dartmouth College (New Hampshire) - Although originally established in 1769 by Eleazar Wheelock, Congregational minister, orator, and educator to educate Native Americans in Christian theology and the English way of life, the university primarily trained Congregationalist ministers during its early history before it gradually secularized. (https://wikipedia.org)
Harvard University (Massachusetts) - When Harvard was first established in 1636, the early motto was “In Christi Gloriam,” meaning “For the glory of Christ.” Puritans originally founded Harvard, so the motto reflected a religious focus. As Harvard evolved and became more secular, the motto changed to “Veritas” (Truth) as a statement of academic values rather than religious ones.

Of the top ten least religious states in the US, five are in New England. As education became more secularized over the centuries New England culture became less religious. New Hampshire and Massachusetts are tied first, Main and Vermont are tied for second with Connecticut third.
The primary purpose of the Leap of Faith Ministry is to promote the Gospel as a spark of hope that will reunite New Englanders with their historical religious roots.

Why America Needs Religion
Patriotism & Peace
February 20, 2025 marked the 50th Anniversary of my swearing an oath to "defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic and that I would bear true faith and allegiance to the same.”, in which I wore a naval uniform for 18 years.
The national flag in my front yard has three stripes: blue for law enforcement representing justice, red for fire and emt representing lifesaving and green for military representing freedom.
As a 'Man of Faith' I know that one day there will be peace on earth where nations will no longer prepare for war. Shiny medals and colorful ribbons will no longer adorn military uniforms but will simply become trinkets in the hands of kids.
And the whizzing of bullets and explosive blasts of war that inevitably lead to the melancholic, haunting echo of silver taps which tears the soul, will be subdued by the sounds of joyous innocence from giggling children, happily clapping hands while playing 'patty cake'.

Real Peace
Service to the King
The white crossed flag below the national ensign identifies the person that will eventually bring peace to the world. Not today, nor probably with what is left of my lifetime. But it will happen because God said it will.
Now I have no 'bucket list' which in our contemporary culture is simply a 'rabbit's foot' of wishes for remembrance. My community volunteerism will continue but in a different venue with its own metric for achievement. I prefer to think of late-in-life-service in terms of success.
You see, I believe success can be immortalized for eternity with seven words – “Well done thy good and faithful servant …” - Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai! Yeshua HaMashiach
