New Life in the News and on the Web

The Wild Church Network was recently featured in an article in Religion News Service, which was picked up by other outlets, including the San Antonio Express-News. I was putting together a media portfolio for New Life for something, and thought I'd share those links here. Read all about God's love spreading out from under the branches of the oaks on the hill.
