Spiritual Development

Rapha House
Leader: Rob Fleenor
The mission of Rapha House is to end the trafficking and sexual exploitation of children, one child at a time, through aftercare for survivors, prevention for the vulnerable, and awareness for all. This D-group is the JUFL Rapha House chapter and will dedicate prayer, community, learning, and action toward that mission.

God Has a Sense of Humor
Leader: Bob Mehlenbacher
We will explore God’s sense of humor in Scripture. We will look at passages in the Bible that, when you examine them and think about what is being said, will make you chuckle or laugh. We will also dig deeper than just the humor of the story or event and see what we can take from that passage in applying it to our lives.
