    You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. When the disciples came down from the upper room, an impossible task loomed before them. They were charged to announce that Jesus ...read more
