  • What a blessing!

    My father, who has preached for 67+ years, and our church have supported Friends of Israel for years. I was thrilled when I found this podcast and find it to be a great blessing. In light of what is happening in Israel and the Middle East right now, I wish more would listen to gain a better perspective.
