We’re Glen & Paula Davis, Assemblies of God missionaries to Stanford. We lead a ministry called Chi Alpha which is authorized by the university to conduct religious services on campus and is organized as a voluntary student organization. We are, of course, affiliated with Chi Alpha Campus Minstries, USA.
We’ve also got a thoroughly charming daughter named Dana who is the star attraction in our photo gallery.
Here’s the sort of information we’ve been asked about for church bulletins and the like. We place it here on the off chance that the President of the United States, a Nobel committee or the editorial staff of Time magazine urgently need some of this data to prepare a press release on us.
