On September 7, 2017, just over 3 years ago, Dr. Z and his family arrived from Iraq and moved into the Welcome House just down the street. We had partnered with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship to convert our unused youth

Is God Calling You?
We are limited in this COVID Pandemic by health restrictions, hopefully common sense, and our concern for ourselves and others from doing many of the things we have always taken for granted. We have had to adjust our routines and
HAS GOD WINKED AT YOU?
