Metro Lutheran - May Issue Available Now!

What difference can one person make? We’ve all heard that,
right? The May issue of Metro Lutheran includes a story on
page 14 about a Concordia University student who is carrying
around a bright yellow jerrycan in order to raise money and
build wells with clean water in Ethiopia. Read the story and
see if he is making a difference. Does he inspire you to do
likewise?
