Board Members

Michael Rice - President/Treasurer

I am the founder of Follow the Teachings of Jesus Ministry.  

I was born and grew up in Southern California.  I went to schools in San Diego, Colton and Rialto, California.  I graduated from Eisenhower High School in Rialto, California in 1963.  I graduated from Fresno State University with a degree in Social Science in 1967.  I spent three years in the Army.  In 1970 I joined the Los Angeles Police Department.  I later transferred to the Rialto Police Department.  In 1977 after foolishly trying to throw my family away I moved to Mineola, Texas.  There with the Lord's help I straightened  my life out and got my family back.  I worked full time and went to the University of Texas and got my Masters Degree in Business Administration.  I am currently retired and am following Jesus's call to follow him.
