    Just as many of the people today in the Middle East and Central Asia, currently in the grip of one of the worst droughts in recent history, are desperate for rain, so the church needs to see its desperate need for a fresh rainfall from God.

During that drought someone published this request online: “Please pray for rain: "It’s so dry in Tennessee that the ...read more

    Jesus opened the eyes of the travelers just as he opens our eyes as we travel the road of life.

    Text: “Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight” (Luke 24:29).
