By Greg Primm Yesterday we heard from Mike Rusch of the Cobblestone Project. In addition to giving us a great overview of the Cobblestone Project, he shared the personal story of what led he and his team to begin a life of service. I learned a lot from talking with Mike. Like many of you, [...]
By Greg Primm Today we start the first in a series of posts about Guys We Like, profiles of men who are grabbing life by the horns and doing something great. I’ve known Mike Rusch for almost 10 years and recently I learned about a non-profit organization that he and some friends have [...]
