Thanks Friends for praying for our friends in South Africa. The report is that the officer actually apologized, and the guy they had the incident actually did not even show up for the meeting. Thanks for praying! God is faithful.

Friends! Many of you guys know that a few of us from the Gathering ventured off to Phoenix, AZ just s short week ago.
