As we were driving to board our long-awaited retirement cruise, our friend Bob prayed for us in the car. He prayed that God would bring divine appointments to us. These next three blogs are a result of that prayer! It began when we met a couple, and soon all four of us were engaged in … Continue reading True Confessions

After Yeshua’s resurrection, He … Continue reading …And Then He Appeared
