We live in a small world. To prove my point, My sister and brother-in-law do lots of mission work. I received a text over night telling me the police officer shot in Shelby over the past few hours is the son/brother of the family that operates Harvest Time Bible Camp, where the Holcombs are currently doing mission work.
