Big Leadership Team
God has blessed our staff team with committed college students who desire to see their peers experience transformation through the gospel. Our staff may be limited at times, but our students sure aren’t! They live on the mission field at FHSU and sacrifice much of their time leading small groups, connecting with students, and leading in different areas of our organization. Year after year God raises up new laborers for His Kingdom, and we get to be apart of that in a very special way. We love our BLT!
Christian Challenge
Love God. Love Others. Serve the World.
