To name a few, he spoke of students who have expressed an interest in missions, of students attending the Evangelism Conference, and of students getting more involved on Sunday mornings in the orchestra and tech ministries. Students are also involved in a Wednesday night prayer and Bible Study time, they participated in a prayer walk around the Capital just before the election, and they are helping with Operation Christmas Child! More about our student ministry coming soon. . .
