Voice of the Martyrs Mini-Profiles
Today's sermon was from John 15:18-16:4 and was called I HEART HATERS. We talked a lot about the modern day persecution of Christians all over the globe and at the end of the service, prayed for some of them together. Here is a list of the folks we profiled today. Please continue to pray for them.
