The Holy Spirit is real, alive, and present! He has come to bear witness of the truth of the gospel, the truth of Jesus Christ. Bro. Jeff began sharing one area in which the Holy Spirit continues to work throughout our world, that is to reveal truth. How is the Holy Spirit working in you?

We hope you are blessed as well as you learn more about the praying, placing, and parting involved in the sending by the early church.
