Do you believe in destiny? Do you believe, for instance, that certain people are pre-destined to be saved? What about that person you’re married to?…destiny or random choice? Or how about the disease or tragedy someone in your life is presently battling? Is there a purpose to it or do …

I have been involved with JMI since the first of my five trips to Moldova in 2006. The first trip started off on a dare with another man in my church, that if he went, I would go along on a construction team.
