2006 was...
The Year of the Haystack!
In 1806, God used a Haystack to change the world! It began with a group of five college students that gathered for prayer and had read the great commission and believed that the words were for them. A thunderstorm drove them to the shelter of a large haystack, and there they consecrated their life to bring the gospel to those that needed it most. After they graduated, they started the first missions agency in North America, and sent out our first missionaries. Eighty years later, God used their story to inspire the Student Volunteer Movement - the greatest student mission movement ever.
