“I’ve had a good life, been a lot of places and met a lot of great people through the years! We’re thankful to be at Bethany and appreciate all the great students and staff God has placed around us here. Our hope and prayer is that God would use us all to start a Revolution that would turn the Youth Dept, the church, and the community of Agawam upside down for the Kingdom of God!” -Pastor Ray
