He likes them because he thinks they are a great means to convert Christians into lifelong missionaries, whether they travel to another land or stay ...read more

    Promises are not made to be broken. They are meant to be kept. God keeps His. He expects us to keep ours.

    INTRO: Years ago, there were two friends who went for a drive in the country. Walter was sharing a dream with his friend, Art, as they drove off the main road thru a grove of trees into a large expanse of land.
