A good friend opened her heart asking us to pray for her: I’m feeling very down today. I’m so worried. I’m really worried about the 50% salary cut that’s coming by the end of this month. I’m worried about my future. I’m worried about how I’m going to pay my bills this month and the […]
Read moreGerhard tells the following story: God talked to me about cars with big engines. V8s that roar and gobble up the road when they go.

Read moreGod makes promises in the Bible again and again, and again and again those promises come true. Sometimes, there is quite a long period between the promise and its fulfilment.
