  • Important Information

    Thank you for doing the talk on spiritual warfare. You are correct many of us might struggle to identify the voice of the enemy. I know I did. He is a GOOD SHEPHERD. Thank you Jesus. Please read Carrie Gress’ book called

    The End of Woman.

    Unwin’s work warns us where we are if we don’t change things soon. We must pray!!!
