Margaret looked tired and discouraged. She told me how she was single handedly trying to lead a campus fellowship, and felt weary of doing it alone. Lately, it seemed every student had an excuse for why they could not attend the service. One week it was too much homework, another week it was their upcoming [...]
This update is straight to the point because I have a point to make. I am pleased to announce that we have a family member and his name is Oliver! Oliver has been one of our closest friends since about October or so. He’s been a regular attendee of our Bible study, he even vowed [...]
