 | | REVIVAL THOUGHTS |
The Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became Man for no other purpose.

 Give life-giving gifts through Medical Benevolence Foundation
At the holiday time especially, you might wish to consider these simple gifts (see the list) that deliver hope and healing in developing countries where it is desperately needed - for a sick child in a hospital, a family needing malaria nets, a new mother hoping to deliver a healthy baby, or a nursing student whose only hope of attending nursing school is a scholarship.
