‘Extra’ Blessings…

Ministry in the jungle often offers much different circumstances than in the States. At all of my Churches, on any given service day, whether it’s a 10 am service or a 4PM service, many of the people will will have only eaten one meal for the day, if any at all. Certainly not by choice,

Wonderful Blessing…
