God's Unconditional Love

It’s a special blessing when someone calls to thank you for making the message of God’s love through Christ real. This is what one of our CrossPath listeners did.

Joshua called to say, “I heard you on the radio. Thank you for talking about the unconditional love of Jesus. I really appreciate you telling me how much God really loves us unconditionally.”

I was touched by the way he kept referring to the word, “Unconditional”. It was as if a chord had been played in his soul that was never strummed before. The message of the gospel was finally resonating in his heart and life.

Listen to CrossPath on the web.

Prayer Request & Success Story

Let me tell you about a client I was recently chatting with. Life was hard prior to the Mission. I watched him in Bible class struggle with the issues he was being taught. The faithful support of our donors allowed him to address the issues that brought him to the Mission in the first place. Today, he has completed our program and is in our 45 day extension program. Is he “out of the woods” – no. There is still a lot he has to work on. I need you to pray that he is accepted into our halfway house program.
