Hard to believe how many spiritual and family connections can be made in one short weekend! It all started when Leroy Community Chapel invited us up to their church this past weekend to share in their first of three consecutive missions-focused weekends. Actually…it started way before that. It started somewhere back around 1999 when Leroy
