A reminder to everyone with internet access to remain alert for scams. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
Please continue to pray for fundraising to rebuild St. Jude’s Cathedral. Keep contributing to this crucial and worthy cause for the people and the land and the Lord will bless your people and the land abundantly.
Saint Paul the Apostle said to the Christians in Corinth, “But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully” 2Cor.9:6
By giving your support, you are sowing seed in our ministry that will bear fruit far beyond our time. We thank everyone for their continued financial support to the ministry of our Diocese.
Count your blessings! Recount is okay.
