Multiplication of Ministry Recap

This week we've celebrated what God has done and shared what's next for this ministry.

 Read Recap
"The Bible talks plentifully about joy, but it nowhere talks about a "happy Christian." Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not. Remember, Jesus Christ had joy, and He prays "that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.""
— Oswald Chambers
