and many sleep.


God's lotto, winner every time

. . . if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing,

that there shall not be room enough to receive it. . . .

2 And all nations shall call you blessed: . . .



The widow gave all that she had

all her living

And there came a certain poor widow,

and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing


"... she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had."


Support of the ministry

All support is by free will offerings.

There are no required membership dues, fees, taxes or tithes
