pulse Solomo Islads Philippies Update
pulse Whe I read the stories i this editio, I realise that may great works come out of small choices. The choice to be obediet to a Word from God ca be powerful beyod aythig you could imagie. The choice to visit a coutry o a short term missios trip, the choice to build a water tower, the choice to complete a traiig course, eve the choice to give $10 to a feedig program ca produce ripple the work of sharig the gospel. Likewise the choice to ivite a fried over for dier or the choice to apply for a ew positio at work ca be just as life-chagig. Oly God kows the result of these choices. Be listeig for the soud of his voice as he shows you the right choice to make, ad remember that all thigs work together for the good of those who love Christ.
