It’s beautiful to watch God work. I led an evangelism seminar for a small group Sunday afternoon and was richly blessed by the experience. But first allow me to confess that I wasn’t expecting the blessing. In fact I was a little disappointed with the response to the seminar. Only six people had registered and… Read More »
