Becoming the President Couple

 

The President Couple leads the WestShore DeColores Secretariat and our community. Each year the Secretariat prayerfully seeks a new Vice President Couple to walk alongside them and, in time, lead this movement. 1 Peter 4:10 reminds us, “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.”
