James Marvin Bartha

Name: James Marvin Bartha
But please call me: James
Hometown: Bradenton, FL

Family facts: I am the youngest son of a Methodist minister. I have an older brother and sister. Recently, I married my high school love, Michelle Hopp, and we are starting our own family, beginning with a dog, Jovi.

How I spend my free time: I enjoy water sports, fishing, spending time with friends and family, and playing games.

Nobody knows that I... If I answered this question, then someone would know. Dark churches scare me and when I get scared I sing hymns to myself.

The most important things I do around here are: Listen, mentor, and entertain.

How I became a Christian: I began life as a Christian… or so I thought. My moment of transformation and commitment came at the age of 16 on a Youth trip to a Christ in Youth Conference. I realized, up until that point I never made the conscious decision to accept Jesus.

One way folks can pray for me: I accept prayer for every part of my life. Should anyone focus on one area, please pray God keeps me on the right path to accomplish his agenda and not my own.
