We have a powerful legacy story to share with you this month! When our special guest, Rev. Dr. Grace Rajan, first learned the story of Ada Jones Lee, she was sad that more people didn't know about this family that ministered in her home country of India. Ada's story includes the tragic loss of six of her children. Dr. Rajan shares beautifully about the faith of Ada and her family, and we hope you will be impacted by their story.
