We know that Alomha could shout when she was praising God; and there in the presence of Christ, she was surely that moment singing and shouting His praises as He welcomed home His faithful servant to the place that He had prepared for her.

The most important thing that we can do is to pray. Pray for Ukrainian Christians who are ministering to their countrymen while trying to survive. Pray that they will continue to keep their eyes on Christ. Pray for the Gospel of Christ to spread to thirsty souls, battered by war.

A Joyful Life of 99 Years

We remembered a life of 99 years, just short of a century…a man who modeled love of family, country, missions, prayer, and a man who was a sinner like the rest of us, but who blessed us because of his love of God.
