Ben reflects on the profound impact these camps had on him, highlighting the dedication and faithfulness of the Dallas Metro team in ministering to children from challenging backgrounds.

Ben also talks about his professional journey, which includes a background in media ministry and work in TV journalism and newspapers before transitioning into teaching.
