Gallery: Annual cookout kicks off Missions Week

October 30, 2019 by David Mitchell

The Department of Bible, Missions and Ministry held its annual cookout to begin Missions Week on Monday night. Despite the cold weather, students enjoyed Bahama Buck’s snow cones and other treats as they learned about upcoming mission trip opportunities and listened to alumnus Kolby Hart sing.
