Rachael G Roney...

I hope that this is a soft introduction for a daughter I was never able to know. I have had the privilege to have three more daughters... I miss knowing you Rachael more than I can say. I have a picture of you posing for a soccer team photo and one of you just a few months old. So much lost and so much more to miss if we are never able to meet. I would enjoy so much getting to know you. Your step mother and half sisters feel the same.

Your Family

Well this is a picture of everybody taken last summer by my brother Keith. He is in Baghdad right now but I will get back to him later in this posting.








Your sisters seem like a good place to start. First is Alyssa born March 2, 1992. She spends time IM'ing friends including cousins Kelly (16) and Lori (15) my brother Brian’s girls. She and her friends enjoy bouncing on her new trampoline she got on her birthday.





Next is Elizabeth born April 3, 1997. She is a real tomboy. Anything that looks like or transforms in to a dinosaur she likes. Yu-Gi-Oh cards and Konami type cartoons are all the rage for her. She probably resembles me the most out of the girls. I must say you do quite a bit as well. She looks forward to Alyssa not being the oldest!









And finally Kristin born Nov 4, 1999. She goes with me everywhere. You can see some great pictures of her with the Attorney General and our Governor by clicking on the link to the right (my recent travels). They fall prey to her charms just like the rest of us. She loves Mario Part 5 and playing with our Greyhound Jake.

About me... at least to the world anyway!

Thomas C. Walker, President - OAM,

Lead developer of prayer networks for the 2005 Global Day of Prayer - USA, Chairman, Indiana National Day of Prayer, former Director of Projects, America’s Prayer Team and Founder of the Governors Prayer Team;

A graduate of EIT 1987, Tom first became involved in ministry in Dramatic Arts and Media. His commitment to education in the sciences and youth was seen in his work as a FIRST Robotics Competition Leader and Mentor. He worked professionally for GE and International Paper as a Senior Project Engineer and let his voice and his commitment to technology be heard through his involvement in TAPPI and training in Six Sigma.

Tom’s involvement in ministry and prayer deepened as he accepted an appointment as Pennsylvania’s Regional Coordinator for the National Day of Prayer Task Force in 1997. As the market toughened for International Paper's Fine Papers Division and they closed Tom accepted a new position in Indiana which consumed much of his free time. While in prayer he asked God “Why did you bring me here Lord, surly there is a purpose for me, a purpose other than an engineer?

The Lord seemed to have answered Tom almost immediately when later that day he was downsized. He looked at this as confirmation and hasn’t looked back since. Within days he was appointed successor for the National Day of Prayer Task Force’s Indiana State Coordinator. Tom founded and now chairs the Indiana National Day of Prayer Inc. which reaches out and ministers to the leaders of Indiana. Later Tom was brought on board by Mr. David Butts and Dr. Cornell Haan as Director of Projects for America's Prayer Team.

Most recently Tom has been elevated to CEO of Vision Connect were he looks to make a global impact by encouraging and enabling others to follow Gods lead, as he did, into full time ministry. Tom continued to be stretch by heading up development of prayer networks for the 2005 Global Day of Prayer - USA. Today it's President of One Accord Ministry and again filling a role in shaping America by helping industry, comerce and educational facilities go green as Operations manager for IMPACT Industrial Services.

Tom has been a guest over a hundred radio shows, local, regional and Global TV shows like Lesea’sThe Harvest Show“. He has been captured in print by a number of Christian and secular news and business papers and periodicals. Tom claims “this was all done to promote the causes that God had held my feet to the fire on”, “God has challenged this shy and introverted broken clay pot of a man to communicate to the world His passion to commune with His children in prayer and to encourage them to drop their nets at the shoreline... and follow Him”
