A healthy servant

STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. — No one was surprised to see Mike Embry engaged in recent Vacation Bible School activities at the Metro Church of Christ. VBS is just one of many activities in which the faithful member is involved, Metro elder Doug Edwards said.

EmbryOn the professional side, Embry is the newly installed president of the National Association of Health Underwriters. In his position as a lobbyist in Washington, D.C., he meets with top congressional staff members, helping put together national health-care legislation.

A profile of Embry in the association’s national publication noted that he struggled with alcohol abuse early in his life. “As a Christian, he has overcome that abuse to be a great model for recovery,” Edwards said.

Another example of Embry’s Christian service is his involvement on the Planned Giving Advisory Council at the Church of Christ Care Center in Clinton, Mich., where his mother resides.
