What a powerful message !
My granddaughter Taylor Morgan goes to your church. She leaves tomorrow for her 1st missionary trip to China. We are so excited to see how God is going to work in her heart on this trip.
My daughter and family (Taylor’s family) went Sunday for your special service, she told me what a great message it was and sent me the sermon .
I was wondering if you could send me a copy of the “folder “you mentioned , I would truely appreciate it.
Thank you for the great work you are doing for the glory of the Lord.
I see my precious granddaughter growing leaps and bounds, from your work.
Praying God keeps Cottonwood growing stronger, and stronger and protects His work.
Thank you
