In the course of our work we are able to meet many interesting personalities, especially so at the 5 star hotel that we sing at on Saturday nights.

The missionary’s creed

April 27th, 2006

God called Abraham to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance and he obeyed, and went out not knowing wither he went (Hebrews 11:8).
Abraham is considered one of the “Fathers of Faith” for this reason–obeying God and going out to look for a land that he’d never seen. Missionaries [...]
