If you have a family member serving on active duty who could use our community's prayer support, please contact Stark Howell at howstark@ca.rr.com.

Their team is also very intentional in making disciples, helping students lead Bible Study groups all around the UCLA area. Whether on the campus, in the dorm, or housing out in town, the Books are fulfilling the Great Commission by making disciples of the students of UCLA.
