DOES GOD CARE?

We were challenged this Sunday by our friend, partner and mission leader Greg Gripentrog.
What a delight to have Greg and Denyse with us.

Greg shared a gripping story of being asked by an Musl*m prisoner in Indonesia a piercing question: "Does God Care about me?"

He took us to the story of Jesus and the leper in Mark 1 and demonstrated God's care for even the most broken and outcast person! With the leper, Jesus was moved with compassion, he reached out and touched the leper. "I am willing," he said. "Be healed!

It was a powerful and heartfelt challenge and encouragement! It's totally worth another listen and
it is posted online!
