Encouragement

Hello? Can you hear me now?

In Israel, cell phones are all the rage. You wouldn’t believe it but parents even buy cell phones for their kids and send them to school with them in their schoolbags. I’m talking about six and seven-year-old kids!

Keep going – the Lord may have more to show you.

Come and see!
