David Little has been a member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church (Houston, TX) for about 15 years. He has also been involved with CALMS since its inception, helping to organize it as a 501C3 organization and providing valuable legal advice throughout the past four years of growth. David writes: "God has blessed me and my family graciously, and being involved with CALMS is my way of giving something back to God. I feel that handling the legal and tax matters for CALMS allows other members to focus on the real purpose - growing the Lutheran Church in Central and Latin America."
