Who is Mary Gray?

Wife, mother, and grandmother Mary Gray lives in Fayetteville, North Carolina. She was a military wife for

twenty years. Her husband, Woods Eastland Gray, is a retired Army Lt. Colonel. He is presently on staff at Village Baptist Church as Minister of Pastoral Care and Senior Adults. They have three sons, two serving in the U.S. Army, Major Rob Gray and Captain Andrew Gray, and Michael Gray, a Foreign Service Officer with the U.S. Department of State. Having been a military wife and now a mother of two sons serving in the military, anything involved in supporting and encouraging our military and their families is very near and dear to her.

Mary is actively involved in her church, Village Baptist Church, in Fayetteville. She leads a weekly Ladies Bible Study, is a MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers) mentor, is the Prayer Leader for her Sunday school class, and is presently a facilitator for "The Truth Project."

Before moving to Fayetteville in 2005, Mary and Eastland worked in ministry with the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home. She was selected as Louisiana Mother of the Year in 2002. Mary received her Women’s Ministry Certificate from the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and she was Women’s Ministry Coordinator for her church in West Monroe, Louisiana. She was also a women’s conference speaker and participated in Speaker’s Bureau as a speaker for several non-profit organizations, all involving family and child advocacy. Mary is devoted to serving God and her family and has always been involved in her church and in her community, no matter where she has lived.

Mary is happy to speak to any church, business or organization about the Psalm 91 Bandanas for Bragg project. She can be contacted at 910-578-8840 or bandanas91@yahoo.com.
