CEF Durham Student Ministries
Words from staff: Sean Blake & Bianca Mangum

“Hmm... maybe there is more to this student ministries thing than just the numbers of clubs held and how many kids you reach. Those things are great but if the lives of the students aren’t being affected then you are only doing part of the job."
