“Love God, Love Others” by Pastor Keith Deloria
I met James and Ben for the first time last Aug 2, 2013. They are the boyfriends of my wife's nieces from Australia.

I got to play chess with James and to chat with Ben about his music. It was a great time to build relationships with these men, who soon we will even be considering family. … [Read more...]

During Ignite I realized God's power to change people's hearts.Before I was registered for Ignite, God was working through all my plans and goals for the month.

The Campus Rush by Coach Rommel Macanda
I was a freshman back in 1997 when I was reached by a fraternity in our campus. I just needed a group to belong to. It's that simple. And that single decision changed the course of my college life which affected my destiny after I graduated - my work, my mindset, my views in life, my dealings with my relationships.
