I am an Alumnus of Davis College (Class 2007), a great college where I currently serve as the Executive Assistant to the President as well as the Historian. I am going back to PNG in a few years to do Bible translation for the Lord. He is great God. Jesus Christ is Lord of all and my Savior. You should meet Him. He is wonderful.
