Who are we serving with?
Our relationship with CRM / InnerCHANGE began in the spring of 1998 with Danny's attendance at a CRM seminar. Since that time we have had meaningful interactions with a variety of CRM and InnerCHANGE staff. Most notably, we spent the summer of 2001 as interns with the InnerCHANGE-Cambodia team. Let us introduce you to our ministry family!

InnerCHANGE
