Here is our next “hidden gem.” One of earliest posts and starting our “Stories From the Field” category was from Sterling, VA and Pastor Phil Proctor.

Hidden Gems – Part 7
Here is our next “Hidden Gem”–our series highlighting interesting posts over the last 5 years that maybe didn’t get the attention they deserved.

Hidden Gems – Part 6
Here is another “Hidden Gem” — our series highlighting interesting posts over the last 5 years that maybe didn’t get the views deserved.
