 Please note: as per the new Links guidelines, Links district assignments change each January. So, Rusty & Diane Robbins, as well as Ana Crocker, have been assigned to other districts. However, because E TN is such an awesome district, I know you’ll continue to show your love to  Rusty & Diane Robbins, especially as the Jesus Film teams led by Rusty Robbins will be the recipients of our Valentines for Jesus offering. 

The Robbins will be with us in E TN March 30 -April 13.
