Commissioned

Posted on October 4, 2012 by For Glory Sake!

A week ago I had the privilege of visiting a full-gospel church. The worship was free, the message sincere, and the prayer so personal. Never underestimate when a church offers one on one prayer. Ben and I went forward to have … Continue reading →
