The Orange Conference ’19 Recap

And that is a wrap! What an awesome time the Orange Conference ’19 was this year. It was so great connecting with old friends and meeting new people as well as learning a ton of stuff that I can directly apply to my ministry contact. But, as with all conferences, there is a lot to process still. And, the work is just beginning.
