Dear Prayer Partners,
"Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth.” Hosea 6:3 NIV
The GRN recording team training course hosted by GRNT was completed by 24 participants on 18 February. Now the reminders will start, bringing to remembrance those things to be put into practice. As we acknowledge the Lord, we can expect that as sure as the sun rises, he will bless our efforts. Thanks for your prayers that helped make the training happen.
