TREASURE IN A FIELD

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Bro. I saw your message today, and the Lord dealt with me to give it to a
young man by the name of Billy Suarez. He feels a call on his life, but
is afraid and somewhat perplexed by all these feelings. Please, pray for
him , I printed this message on my printer for him and when I see him I
will give it to him . Thankful, L Conant
