Northeast Africa in March
I am excited to announce that I will be co-leading a Global Connection trip with Central Christian Church to Northeast Africa this March 15-26! I have committed to this trip for a couple of reasons: first, we have recruited an all guys group with many people who have never experienced a trip like this (some of them are from our Third Format services that I teach at).
