Giving Back by Listening On Jan 25, 1997 Leonard Wilson and Palmer Hutcheson were taking a training ride for the MS 150. Leonards ride was cut short when he turned in front of a car travelling at 55 mph. He was struck and severely injured. Leonard survived his injuries with the help of excellent medical care. He survived the psychological and spiritual trauma with the help of a community of prayer and a Stephen Minister.
Read more from Leonard on how rewarding God's work of being a Stephen Minister is in the Grapevine!
