Student
faces cultural barriers through PRIME
 In
a small room, on the other side of the ghetto, in Roanoke, Va.,
Huntington University student Megan Condry sits beside two middle
school girls, who meet every weekly to do their daily devotions
together. As they are reading through the Bible, one of the girls
asks Condry a tough question. The question compels Condry to go
deeper into what Scripture says to respond to her question.
“My time is
not my own, and my worries seem to fade away as I fellowship and
encourage them,” said Condry, a senior
family and children’s ministries major
from Celina, Ohio. “They have opened my eyes to many things and
challenged me.”
