Spring break is a much-anticipated time of no class, no tests
and no papers. Students at Harding University celebrate this
break in a number of ways, including traveling to several U.S.
states and foreign countries on mission trips. Many students
spend their week going out into the world, showing love
to others, and sharing the good news about Jesus. Make a
difference with your spring break at Harding University.

The state’s 28 churches and roughly
2,300 men, women and children in
the pews represent a tiny fraction of

other congregations, said Davis, minister
