I spoke to 25 students last night at the Baptist Student Center on the Missouri State University campus. Want to guess my assigned topic? Right. Missions. I enjoyed every second of it. I spoke and answered questions. I loved the banter. At the end, I participated with the students in a time of footwashing.
More Jake bio info. After Caleb’s aunt’s friend had kept Jake four months, she felt she would have to give him away. Caleb’s aunt took him and kept him a year. He was an indoor dog at the time (never again!!).
