Perry Martini, Director of Outreach Ministries I began serving as Director of Outreach Ministry on January 11, 2011. I grew up in Walnut, Mississippi and graduated from Mississippi State University. I have been married to Michelle Martini for 28 years. We have two children, Domenic and Mariah. We have been members of BUMC since moving from Colorado in 1995. I am a retired air traffic controller. This is truly a second career that offers an opportunity to give to the community, the country, and the world. My favorite Bible verse is Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
