I don't believe you came to this website by accident. You are continuing a spiritual journey that could impact hundreds, possibly thousands of lives, whether you plan to or not. So let's start that journey afresh right here! In the books of Psalm and Isaiah, we find passages of revival and renewal (Psalm 139: 23-24; Isaiah 58:6-10). We pray that revival start in your heart and mind today--and remember, the Bible says that "wisdom is the principal thing, therefore, get wisdom" (Proverbs 4:7).
I am so glad the Lord sent you our way! May his peace and grace be with you today.
Yours in God's Love,
Pastor Funchess
