“Through that experience, our girls recognized that what these people needed more than running water was the gospel message. Our family emerged from this experience with a heart of gratitude for God’s provision in our lives and a conviction that we must take the gospel to the nations – both in our own city and the cities of the world.” - Michael Wilder, professor of church ministry
