“ It went really well! Shamiel shared his story and highlighted different points about perseverance, motivation, trusting God, etc. He’s not from our ORU bubble, which was a little refreshing! Our students are normally around ministry leaders, so it was good to hear about how God works in different people, even NFL players. That was cool! ”
