Day of Renewal

On September 23, the AGTS community set the day aside to seek God. Fasting from work and classes, we purposefully set our hearts, minds and bodies on a path toward God during three services that included worship, preaching and prayer. Special guest Jeff Hartensveld ('89), AGWM mobilization director, spoke powerfully and poignantly. Watch the recorded services here.
