The best way to CHANGE the world… is to love with a particular passion, some little part of it. Let’s call that little part Ripon and its surrounding communities. And let’s not hold back. God has this way of working through moments. It’s about more than a feeling. It’s about more than an experience. These are extraordinary moments that God uses to affirm our obedience, encourage us (reminding us He’s with us), or give us a marker, etched in our memory, to remind us WHY… Why we’re following Hi...
