Dr. Rai Paparatti

"Following God.  Where?  It doesn't matter...as long as it is following Him.  This journey style has proven to be one of the most fruitful of my life.  Challenging?  Yes!  Heart aching moments?  Indeed!  Yet, God has brought connection, purpose, and a closeness of His Presence over the years that have proven His love and calling over and over again."      -  Paparatti
