My Faith Journey
Our lives of faith are not lived in a vacuum; they are lived out in the midst of the world God has given us; and they hold the potential to encourage and strengthen one another. With this in mind, we encourage anyone who wishes to share their faith journey to do so here.

This week Adam Rouse shares his story.
