Message from Terry Franson - Military Alumni
I recently had the opportunity to connect with one of our alums serving in the legal branch of the Army, also known as JAG Corps.   He shared about his time in Baghdad, the loneliness of military life, and that many of the women and men serving are hungry for the Word of God. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of God¹s word, and the joy of being encouraged by others.
