    Think about the power of sharing the Gospel, how it can pierce through the hardest heart and change a person's life. When a person responds to God, it changes their entire trajectory in life and eternal destiny.

    Last week we spoke about the powerful manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the new believers. The Spirit came down like a mighty rushing wind, filling the room, and filling them personally.
