Becky’s Wedding and Prayer Requests

Pastor Mutemi Helps
Sunday, 20 July 2008

It is always good to have the eyes and ears of someone more familiar with the culture and who is better able to share the gospel and pray with folks. I was so thankful for his love and enthusiasm to share Christ as we walked from tent to tent.
