As a result they now have a prayer line ministry involving three churches. Outreach programs are supported by Rev. Stafford and she helps spearhead the "Hundred Men in Black" fund raiser, Veterans Day honoring veterans and Senior Citizen Day that provides food at Thanksgiving.  There are men serving in district and conference positions and two men are going into the pastoral ministry as result of her mentoring. For these and many other reasons it is with great pride that the United Methodist Men of the South Carolina Conference join the United Methodist Men of the Southeastern Jurisdiction in presenting the G. Ross Freeman Leadership Award to the Rev. Geneva Stafford for 2011.

The G. Ross Freeman Foundation, Inc., and the Southeastern Jurisdiction United Methodist Men give all glory to God for the leadership provided by these faithful pastors. 

The Southeastern Jurisdiction United Methodist Men (SEJ UMM) approved the G. Ross Freeman Leadership Award Program in June of 2002 to honor Pastors who encourage the Ministries of Men in Evangelism, Missions, and Spiritual Growth.

Many of these pastors have contributed their wisdom and expertise to a collection of Clergy Think-Tank Reports available on our RESOURCES pages.
