DO THEY KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS IN LIBERIA?
JOHN 3: 16 - 21

There has always been more evangelism than the secular world
recognized. After Christ's resurrection, a great outpouring of

calledPentecost. Acts 2:5-11 lists 18 different languages
represented there that day. These new converts spread the story
to their home lands. Extra-Biblical sources speak of a great
