by Terry Hickey Have you ever felt that “christian coercion” (let’s leave it at good natured persuasion!) to do the right thing?

Well the excuses finally evaporated, and I found […]

Before I get started on today’s story, I need to tell about something that I forgot to mention yesterday. While I was talking to one of the dinner guests last night, I discovered that not only does the POWER Ministry build things, visit prisons and orphanages and do street evangelism, we also give out a […]
