"A life's journey isn't a straight line, but a winding path full of hills and valleys. It's a story that's never the same, but always valuable. A journey that shapes us, enriches us, and that we ultimately complete." – Lisette Wellens
The story of Major Robert Cain, who chose courage in the chaos of war, touches us deeply. Tonight, on the big screens, or at home with his daughter, we have witnessed his actions and those who stood by him.
This was Bridge to Liberation 2025. See you next year!
