So we finished one of our busiest weekends of our time in Canada. We’re thankful for what the Lord has done, and thankful that my voice held out!<\/p>\n

The Where did the Bible Come From?<\/em> seminar<\/strong> went well (from my perspective) with about 30 people. We had some great conversations about Bible versions, the canon, how God preserved His Word – good times.

Continue to pray for Mexico as the national election draws near – less than two weeks now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
