Berean Bible Church, CA

Russell Hohneck, Sereena and I had the privilege of visiting Berean Bible Church in Arroyo Grande, CA. This is a church that supports the Shepherd's Bible College. What joy to partner with BBC in training and equipping men and women in New Zealand to serve in local churches throughout the South Pacific.
