Recognition

The Center couldn't be prouder of Mintu Rai, who recently received Dordt University's Intercultural Servant Leadership Award in May. From India, Mintu received support as a child as a result of the Center's partnership with the Snehakunja Children's Home in Kolkata. A leader both on and off campus, Mintu is currently serving on the Center's International Advisory Board. Congratulations Mintu!

The Center's popular social hour takes place Tuesday, July 14 at Art Club Coffee (3659 Navajo St.) in the Highlands neighborhood.

Center's Founder to be Featured in Documentary

Thanks to a generous donor, the Center is a financial sponsor of a documentary currently in its post-production phase. Its focus? The American Protestant's response to the AIDS epidemic. The documentary, The Body of Christ Has AIDS, hopes to finish fundraising and complete post-production by year's end.
