[ogsa-wg] Resignation

[Manuel Pereira]

Dear Colleagues,

It is with genuine sincerity that I express my gratitude for the many kind 
and gracious friends that I have had the opportunity to work with over the 
course of the past several years.  I have thoroughly enjoyed participating 
in GGF as well as the creativity, friendly atmosphere, and stimulating 
activities availed by IBM. 

I am writing to you to inform you that I am resigning from IBM and the 
technical/scientific industry, including GGF and my leadership 
involvement.  Though seemingly abrupt, this decision has been under 
consideration for over a year.  The sole reason for my departure is in 
response to an inexplicable and ever increasing draw and loving desire to 
serve in full-time Christian ministry.  I am pursuing higher education and 
training in one of the finest seminaries available while serving as a 
pastor of a regional Bible church.

I leave IBM and all of my related participating activities in excellent 
standing and repute.  I would love to share more with you, however out of 
respect for the diverse community of GGF, I want to invite anyone who is 
interested in more details or would simply like to discuss the matter to 
please contact me at: manuel at trinitybiblechurch.org.

Best regards,
Manuel Pereira
