    There’s a world of people out there who are in various stages of brokenness; some a little, others a lot. Maybe for the first time in your life, you can actually relate to them! They need someone who can cry with them, who can “feel their pain.”

The farmer's son was returning from the market with a crate of chickens his father had entrusted to him, when all of a sudden the box fell and broke open. 2.

    Research has proven how powerful a human touch is. Since that's true, imagine how powerful the touch of Jesus is, the effect it can have on people, and how we can be part of God’s touching the world!

This picture shows 10 gates that were used to gain entrance to the city. Each gate had a specific ...read more
