“Instead of school just being a place where students have to be, it’s a place where God has sent them.”  What an inspired way to look at a school year!  Today Stacy speaks with the Northeast Regional Coordinator for the National Network of Youth Ministries, Travis Deans.  Listen in as Travis shares his passion for youth ministry, his grateful heart for Moms in Prayer and the opportunity for students to consider each a school year a 9-month mission trip.   Can you imagine what would happen on every school campus if every believing student became a missionary?
