Are you planning to attend the GARBC Conference in June? Sign up for the International Luncheon on Wednesday, June 29.

Tou will hear firsthand the challenges and rewards of faithful service to the Lord. You might want to establish a church connection with a partnering ministry in another culture. Don’t just eat.
