Todd Jordan
Greetings: 

 

 

 

During his life, Paul traveled almost 7000 miles by land & sea, planted seeds that would change the cultural/spiritual landscape of Asia Minor, the Roman Empire and eventually the world. Last week we examined how he was able to do it by looking into the first part of his first mission. I invite you to join me this Sunday as we continue to journey with Paul and explore Acts 14 in The Birth of the Mission, part 2.
 
  

 

 

                       Dr. Todd Jordan,

                       Senior Pastor
