Closing Words

“I believe that we are all put on this earth for a purpose, with a mission. Ultimately that mission involves learning to love God and love people. It’s in our relationship with God and with people that we discover our purpose. I have spent my lifetime inviting people to step into the experience of mission and then helping them to more fully grasp their contribution to the people that they will come to work, play and live with.”
