Genesis 5:21-24
Take God's Word and turn please to Genesis 5. Pastors, I praise the Lord today for you for having led your churches to become soul-winning churches. And I pray God that the Pastors of our state will follow your lead!

The Jesus' family is a record of victory and life! And may I tell you how wonderful it is to be in the Jesus family!
