Joe Helms, Leonard Mosele, Carl Robertson and Rev. Asbury Lenox.
The PEF is a supporting organization of Moody Methodist Church. PEF funding enables the organization鈥檚 board of directors, comprised of Moody Methodist Church congregants, to provide grants to non-profit organizations serving people in Galveston and around the world. Through these grants, the PEF works to advance the care of people in the name and spirit of Jesus Christ.
