London Experience… I have never thought I would be able to make this trip and join my fellow LGP cohort in this program because I received my visa only four days prior to our departure to London. When my visa finally came it was a great joy and confirmation that God was in this trip…

OVERVIEW London was a great venue for the 2013 Advance! I enjoyed the cultural diversity; it was everywhere all the time! It was busy but there were lots of lenclaves in which one could find some solace: coffee shops, pubs, and wine shops. I enjoyed watching people; London offered a huge window into the fabric…
