December 7, 2011 by
DESPAIR surrendered to FAITH.... Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts. This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, 'OK, dad, I'm ready.' His Pastor dad asked, 'Ready … [Read more...]

March 30, 2011 by
Sister Rivalry "What does a Mother do? " This morning, my work is disturbed by three almost grown women, aged 16, 18 and 20.

Yes, you got it! … [Read more...]
