Courageous For Christ Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Chippie was a pet bird just peacefully perched in his cage when all of the sudden life was changed into a living nightmare. It all began when Chippie's owner decided to clean his cage with a vacuum cleaner. ...read more

Contributed by Curt Cizek on Dec 30, 2007
