The freedom that Jesus brings to others and the exciting enrichment He brings into our lives through this ministry make it a thousand times worthwhile. To be allowed to work in the power of God is an incomparable privilege. This is a power far beyond our power, enabling us to do the things Jesus promised we would do (John 14:12). I never plan to quit. It is to too much fun to see freed people smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
