Keeping Christ in Our Thoughts Even During the Pandemic

One of my favorite times of the year is when the world begins preparing for the birth of the Lord. It’s when I begin to see even more faces at Jesus Lives ministry and I love having more guests. As the excitement of the holiday builds, I take extra time to praise the Lord.

We are blessed to have everything He has sacrifices for us. Merry Christmas all.

Your loving,

Brother Phil
