Spotlight on Philander Smith chaplain

Members of Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church say their pastor has a gift for "making you get it." The Rev. Ronnie Miller-Yow's style of preaching resonates with all ages but especially young people. As chaplain of Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Yow has many opportunities to help young people become leaders in their church and community. He also leads by example in his role as national president of Black Methodists for Church Renewal.
