A WORD FROM THE HOME
OFFICE
My daily prayer routine includes a modified version of the prayer of Jabez (1 Chronicles 4:10). “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory. Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. God has been granting my request to bless my family and expand the ministry of Acts 1:8.
Our focus in the future is to expand ministry growth through staff worldwide, technology development, and the Acts 1:8 Foundation. May God continue to grant this request. |
