Welcome to Adventist Peace Radio, the podcast of the Adventist Peace Fellowship. Thank you for joining us for this episode, and we invite you to subscribe to the podcast through iTunes, Google Play, or Stitcher.
In this episode Jeff Boyd interviews Adam Wamack about ADRA Connections, a short-term volunteer program hosted by ADRA International. This is the third and final installment in a series considering the question: "What did you do this summer?" Adam’s answer is that he led a large group of university students to Brazil, where they spent two week’s constructing a school campus. To learn more about this trip and how you can participate in future trips, please check out this conversation.
Our apologies for the beeping sound. There was construction going on at ADRA, and we couldn’t escape the noises. We hope you’ll be patient with the distractions.
Adam Wamack is the ADRA Connections manager for the Adventist Development and Relief Agency. He currently lives in Maryland with his wife of eight years and enjoys sports, reading, Bible study, working out, and traveling with ADRA International.
