From Joppa with love
As we reflect on our own calling to the Gentiles all around the world, we repent that we have not made more of an effort to evangelize the world that God so loves. He has shown us the tremendous need to share the gospel. The difference between countries He has blessed versus those countries that …
Walking in the footsteps of Paul
