Gossiping for Good
It’s been a year since we moved into our Muslim community. We’re getting known. And we’re also getting talked about. We’ve made a lot of new friends. God has also given us opportunities to share the Gospel with many Muslims and study the Bible with them. This requires us to […]
Our Newly Baptized Friends
