Found this in my phone. Can't remember who said it...

"Believer, Jesus loves each and every one of us equally, but He can only trust you in proportion to your obedience. It's one thing to say 'Jesus loves me'. It's another thing to say 'Jesus trusts me'.
You want to walk in His power? You want to be a mighty weapon in the hand of the Father with which He brings destruction to the kingdom of darkness? Then He has to be able to trust you."

Such an amazing testimony this week!

For reasons I can't explain, this photo was covered up and filtered by Facebook for being "violent or graphic." 🤔

Look closely.
A photo speaks a thousand words.

Recently, we did a Father, Son and Daughter mission trip together to preach the truth on a College Campus. We turned it into a vlog for you to be inspired!

The definition of freedom is the power to do the will of God. God created us for a purpose, and we will only be free when we fulfill that purpose.

Nobody "allows" us to do God's will. The only question is, "What price am I willing to pay to fulfill my calling?"

Sarah Lu suffered six years in Chinese prisons, including torture, for her faith. She still suffers today through the separation from her family, which she endures for the Gospel. But she is free. Nobody has hindered her worship and obedience to God. This is her story:

This is happening all too often.
