This fruit is growing in their little garden at the project site in Comayaguela. The yellow fruit is a mango. Rich in nutrients, it […]
… Children of the Day We are in the season of Pentecost as the Holy Spirit shines the light of Christ upon us through the life-giving Word. John 1:12 assures us that “to those who believe in His name, He gives them the right to be called children of God” … those who no longer […]
Be Prepared…to Share the Hope! No one is in heaven today because someone was silent; Everyone in heaven is there because someone told them about Jesus.
