Many days you will find Brian and Shelley Graves with hot chocolate, coffee, and donut holes walking through the student organization offices at UMass Boston. Two years ago they met Stephy and each week she returned with a few friends in tow to enjoy a sugary treat. Over the course of the weeks they listened to Stephy’s story unfold.

In the fall Stephy wanted to meet to talk about her faith in Jesus – to ask hard questions about the intersection of faith and life, to learn about prayer, and to deepen her faith before graduation.

Stephy is starting law school and her faith in Jesus has focused her passion to work in a law firm that helps the underprivileged in and around Boston, where she grew up, in hopes to share God’s Dream for the world. Of course we do not know where Stephy’s journey will lead her, but we have a feeling it will include handing out hot chocolate and some donut holes to share God’s love.
