Multiplication of Ministry Recap

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

Read Recap
"When we get our spiritual house in order, we'll be dead. This goes on. You arrive at enough certainty to be able to make your way, but it is making it in darkness. Don't expect faith to clear things up for you. It is trust, not certainty."
— Flannery O'Connor
