Retired, long-time GCI employee Tony Murphy was recently ordained an elder in GCI’s congregation that meets in Central Coast, California. Rudy Lomboy was ordained at the same time.
Tony was employed in WCG’s TV department for many years working on The World Tomorrow telecast and other media projects. More recently he served as media coordinator for the Speaking of Life, You’re Included and A Word from our Sponsor video productions. In that role, he contacted, taped and edited many of the Trinitarian theologians featured on GCI’s web site.
Reflecting on his ordination, Tony commented: “I want my ministry to be a living answer to the question, ‘How do I best participate in Christ’s ministry especially to those in my congregation, but also to all those with whom I come in contact?'”
Tony and his wife, Wilma, have been conducting a weekly Bible study in their home for almost a year and have been serving the local congregation since their retirement and move to the area.
Congragulations Tony & Wilma!
Long memories,love,thanksgiving & prayers.

Congratulations, Tony! I did not know of your ordination when we saw each other at the Orlando Conference. You and Wilma have been faithful servants for as long (or longer) than I have known you. I am very happy for the new doors God has opened for you and I know you will certainly fulfill your quest to be “a living answer.” May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and lead you, my friend.
Congratulations Tony! Connie and I wish you the very best in your ministry and service to the Lord.

Congratulations, Tony and Wilma! Adrienne and I have noticed your serving and ministry ever since we have known you, and that has been quite a few years now. May God continue to bless you in your ministry expressing the fullness of Jesus Christ! Love, Tom and Adrienne
Tony and Wilma; I am so happy for both of you. You have been exemplary servants for so long. May God bless you and guide you in all you do in his ministry.
Our prayers and best wishes.

If I had known of this at the conference, I would’ve had you buy me a cup of coffee. That’s what newly ordained folks do you know, buy coffee for others.
Congratulations Tony!

May we join the choir of voices and congratulate you also. Our prayer is that you and Wilma will become an even more powerful witness for Christ as you touch the lives of those around you.
Blessings,
Santiago and Elke Lange
