Youth Mission Chorale Witness: Leatus Reed

This mission has really helped me reestablish my need for the fulfillment of God in my life and learn a few things about myself along the way. Each of us has a story; each of us has a gift to share. But it is the gift of sharing the Gospel through song to a people that is our common bond. Together as a group we were able to share the love of our Lord and Savior.
