It is incredible to me that after 50 years as an\r\n                    organization, our mission remains the same, and I am deeply\r\n                    thankful that our commitment to the Gospel has not wavered.\r\n                    Even as we hold high our common objective to serve with\r\n                    excellence, we cannot neglect the verbal proclamation of the\r\n                    Good News of Jesus Christ. I wonder how that applies to your\r\n                    life\u2014perhaps a family member, a colleague, a community\r\n                    member you serve needs to hear the Gospel.
