Johnny Brower | Student Ministry |
Handsome, witty, endlessly talented -- these are just a few of the words used to describe Johnny.  Truth is, aside from his terrible fashion sense, he resembles Brad Pitt (pre-Angelina).  He loves Chipotle, Jamba Juice and hot coffee.  If any of these items were to make their way to his desk, he would love you forever!
