    We need to be prepared to tell people about Jesus as we go about our lives… Who is Jesus? Where did He come from? What did do? What did say? What was His character? What was His nature? And can we truly be like Him? Can we really obtain the God given dreams, goals, and aspirations that we have? ...read more
