[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] As I graduate High School this spring, I feel the Lord calling me to step onto the water and trust Him as I live out the plan he has set before me in a radical way: to go on mission before college. What I want, more than anything, is to learn to love. Not in the...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Greetings, friend! My name is Moriah, and I am from the beautiful rolling hills of rural Iowa.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Why I Serve After graduating from university, I went on mission with Con-solatio and served in Argentina.
