Partnering With Local Schools This Holiday Season
Friday October 25, 2019 | Dexter CulbreathOne of the best ways to make a significant impact this holiday season is to minster to the schools in our communities. Like our ministries, the schools in our communities could greatly benefit from the generous support of selfless volunteers. Which school leaders can we meet with to support them this holiday season?
