John Fuder has such a wonderful way of presenting what he has learned through his work within City's He is a shinning example of someone that is living it out. This course is not only worth taking, but worth recommending to anyone in small groups or ministries wanting to get real and make a difference. Thankyou John Fuder, may you shine even brighter for Jesus, reaching and influencing all God has called you to complete. Amen In Christ Lindsay
