Navigating The Future Confidently: Post COVID-19 - Part 2
Jayasooriya, Palitha
1 Kings 5
Introduction:
Hi Friends, in Part 1 of this Bible Study titled ''Post COVID-19: Navigating The Future Effectively', we covered 7 points from 1 Kings 5.

- Ask God for unique wisdom
- Right Partnerships
- A clear and large vision
- The power of delegation
