And I beg you to pray that God will send me back to you soon. I want this more than anything else.
Hebrews 13 : 20 (ERVEN)
I pray that the God of peace will give you every good thing you need so that you can do what he wants. God is the one who raised from death our Lord Jesus, the Great Shepherd of his sheep.

To him be glory forever. Amen.

God's grace be with you all.
