We truly celebrated our 25th milestone year last night with 400 guests at the beautiful Dallas Country Club. The evening’s celebration began with lovely music by the Dallas String Quartet and was followed by a very warm welcome from Co-Chair Ray Nixon, who generously gave his time and heart to this special event for which planning first began almost a year ago. Rev. Robby Higginbottom of Park Cities Presbyterian Church blessed the evening with a very special prayer.

The evening’s program began with LEAP leader Dr. Jeffrey Cone, who spoke about LEAP and his first encounter with Dr. Craig Hobar. He shared why his service as team leader in Haiti has been particularly meaningful with light-hearted stories included! For those of you who have been fortunate to work with Jeffrey in the mission field, you know him to be a great leader, mentor, and humanitarian. It was a beautiful start to the evening’s program.
