We are Everywhere and We are World Changers
We have been in the Easter season up until today which is notably called “Ascension Thursday”! It has been 40-days since Jesus was raised from the dead and eyewitnesses saw Him showing up to give them His “famous last words”. Acts 1:3 verifies it: “After His suffering, He presented Himself to them and gave many…

Our Mission is Wherever We Are

I’m Sorry I Saw That

Let’s Be Different. Let’s Take the High Road.
