Gospellers

A Gospeler is one who directs conversations to include the Gospel. Pastors do their part by preaching the Gospel.

Walk with Me

As He walks with me, and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own — I sing a song and stroll along with Jesus all day long. In His garden of Eden, I am fully equipped to instantly know whatever I ask Him! Keeping Him close, He is “in me” —…
