Missionary Testimonials

Two lambs who attended church this week were touched by the message that EVERYONE can be a pastor to someone. Missionaries prayed with them about their own troubles – drugs, alcohol, living on the streets – then suggested that they could pray with others when they got back to the woods. One lamb said, “You know, that’s something I really needed to hear. I need to get up off my rear end and DO something for the Lord.”
