Arapaho's mission is “opening the doors wide for all to experience and embody God's healing and reconciling love.” It's hard to imagine a more literal — or more fitting — way to live that out than funding an actual door that opens a ministry space to the students it serves. This gift isn't just generous; it's on-mission in the most concrete way possible.
