Summary
This Adventures in Odyssey® drama features Trent, who desires to be part of something big to change lives for God. Whit sets a program in the Imagination Station for Trent, who journeys to Constitution Island, ancient India, and the South Pacific to see stories of people who were effected by the godly work of another. He begins his adventure in a small room with Anna, who is preparing for a Bible study in her home, making sandwiches and lemonade. He goes on to learn just how much of a difference “small things” can make when God uses them for His purposes.
