One of my greatest experiences with God was on a mission trip to Mexico... Seeing hearts and lives transformed by the power of the Gospel.

How does God speak to you? Through worship music and the quiet moments with God early in the morning.

If I could do anything for a day, I would: Go hiking, read, and take a nap, then go shopping and out for dinner at a great outdoor restaurant.
