As I listened to the speech by Benjamin Netanyahu I realized that I was listening, not to just a politician, but to a statesman.

Since I surrendered to a call to missions 15 years ago, I’ve visited 29 nations and developed relationships with dozens of pastors and leaders who now consider me their friend and brother.

Experience Abigail’s plight as she engages Joshua’s world of temptation and debauchery. Joshua is a teen who claims to be a born again Christian, yet lives his life as if Jesus died so we can sin rather than to save us from our sin.
