Holland Prior is an ordained pastor with the Wesleyan Church and a graduate of Azusa Pacific University. She also received a Master of Divinity degree from APU. Holland was one of my team leaders on a mission trip to New Orleans in the summer of 2008. She traveled to Cambodia from February 12-22. Before she left, I talked to her about the coming journey.

I was born in San Jose, California. But I came alive in New Orleans.
Her story cannot be forgotten, and her voice must never be silenced.
She struts and sings, dances and screams for help.
Purple, green and gold, my love is beautiful and bold
and she’s drowning on August Twenty-Ninth, Two-Thousand and Five.
