A GATHERING RICH IN HISTORY
Quotes taken from the Christian Standard article, Lake James School of Missions - A Gathering Rich in History. "'It is somewhat of a reunion,' said Paul Brunsman, 'The people I know from School of Missions I may only see once a year ... [Missionary] Dale Meade can't make it every year, but when he can, that's a reunion for those who have met him [at School of Missions] over the years.'"

"Since its beginnings, the School of Missions has served as one means through which missionaries can help build a support network."
