Tonight Aaron and I volunteered at the Sesquicentennial Gala to celebrate Wheaton College's 150th Birthday. Since it's beginning in 1960, Wheaton has contributed to the development of generations of young people committed to Christ and His Kingdom. Tonight we celebrated the work of God over the last 150 years, and his ongoing work on campus and throughout the world through the influence of Wheaton College!
