In the second installment of our series, we connect with Dana and Dan, longtime volunteers from Evangelist Mark Barclay's church, which shares a history with our former home church. Recently, three former leaders from Barclay's church have faced criminal charges—one has been convicted, while the other two are still navigating the legal system.
