Thanks for feeding my mind with appropriate books that refresh my mind with spiritual water.

NEWS FROM RWANDA

I apologize for the delay to inform and congratulate you on the Gospel News, the DVD on the devil and another about Bible Studies. To tell the truth, your materials are very stirring and uplifting.
