In Their Own Words: Jeff Z


This summer's trip to New Orleans was life changing and eye opening. The poverty down there was so much, and to think that some people lost all they had in a matter of minutes was just devastating. Despite all the poverty there is still hope. UIM is doing a great job spreading the good news and hope everywhere they go. Even when I was down there I saw a couple people ask where the church was and if they could come which was very encouraging to me personally. The whole trip was so amazing that I would go back in a heartbeat, but we'll see what happens. Peace and Love.
