Is A Gap Year Worth Taking 5am on the dot, an eager anticipation for adventure abruptly woke me from my deep sleep.

It must've been an African tribe I was standing in the midst of, with nothing but love in my heart for them. At this time, I never...

One Chapel - Thousands Of Prayers "It's hotter than a firecracker in here!" exclaimed Leland Paris, as he stepped into the 12' by 15' foot well house we called our prayer room.

One afternoon, we teamed up with multiple staff members to help with their different roles on the campus.
