By Gina Conroy | April 27, 2008 |

The first time I heard Ed Gungor speak was when I was at Missionary Boot Camp in college getting ready to spend 6 weeks in Nigeria. He was fun and passionate about Jesus. What I remember most is his silly songs that got the college kids all riled. He was down to earth and real.…
