Why Desert Grace?

I felt an immediate pull when I met the people of Desert Grace. They were so very committed to ministry goals – and I wanted to be a part of what is happening. I’ve seen a lot of great things since coming here… and have felt God’s presence each step of the way. Carissa and I have fallen in love with Yuma, and feel especially blessed to be here.
