Ledford named LifeWay Stores’ top manager
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (BP) – Janet Ledford has been
named 2005 LifeWay Christian Resources store manager of the year.
Described by her employees as a person who has high
standards for excellence, a passion for people and a penchant for
laughter, Ledford said her favorite part of the job is ministering to
those inside the store walls.
“When I took [the discipleship study] ‘Experiencing
God,’ I learned to join God where He is already at work,” Ledford said.
“I have tried to put this in practice in my life, doing my part, and
being part of something bigger.”
Annually, LifeWay Christian Stores selects the store
manager of the year based on financial criteria, customer feedback,
professional accomplishments and contributions to LifeWay as an
organization. A division of LifeWay Christian Resources of the Southern
Baptist Convention, LifeWay Christian Stores operates 126 retail
outlets across the nation.
