Why do I Want To Serve

I am familiar with the conditions the Burmese refugees have lived under, and I have much regard for those I was in contact with in the Karenni State in 1984 and 1987. Fort Wayne has a large population of these refugees, and I wish to assist them in becoming productive American citizens and help them to find Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
