It was almost 70 years ago that a young father tightly hugged his 3 year old daughter, walked away from a failed marriage, and never returned. Years later it would be discovered that he had moved to a far-away state for work and, although attempts were made to reconnect with his daughter, those attempts never…
“How do we get to the next level?” is a question that I hear along the way, usually from younger men who are hungry to see God work in their church and city and who have a genuine desire to see many people saved. It is a valid question, and I always appreciate and applaud…
