Lee is the director of the Fuller Center for Housing of Northwest Louisiana and will speak on “A Damascus Moment,” using Acts 9: 3-9 as his text.

Rev. Jeter says:

“We will speak on the change that occurred with Saul on the Damascus Road, and how we need that change today, from the crisis in Flint, to the controversy surrounding removal of the monuments, and other issues affecting our nation and people.”
