I had another great time at First Baptist Church in Rockford, IL, pastored by Scott Williquette.

I have two more meetings, one in Rockford, IL, on Sunday and one in Clinton Township, MI, the following Sunday. In Rockford I’ll be presenting my ministry for the second time to the believers at First Baptist Church. This is actually my third time to speak there, since I also gave a brief challenge one [...]
