Overwhelmed…
Im so overwhelmed at the support we have received in the last 72 hours. To be honest sometimes ministry is one of the loneliest places. In moments like these past few days when we see a tsunami of support that literally leaves us tumbling in utter disorientation at the massive wave that has overtaken us, I realize just how much we are not alone in ministry, in life …
