Carmen is joined today by one of our own Illinois Baptist young women, 20 year old Brooklyn.  We are not sharing her full name because Brooklyn is preparing to enter into a year of service on the mission field and we are conscious of security.  Hear Brooklyn share her story of how she is putting her nursing career on hold to answer God's call to the mission field.
