HE LEFT HOLLYWOOD FOR A NEW ROLE Louis Braga lived the life that many dream about. As a successful Hollywood actor, he starred in commercials, TV shows, and movies, but it wasn’t enough. He wanted more. Eventually, Louis enrolled in the Ministry Leadership program at NU Sacramento. “My goal is to devote myself fully to God. I’ve never felt so much peace. I don’t know exactly where God is taking me, but I know this is where He wants me to be.”
