Tender Mercy and Sharing Our Faith

Today is Praise Thursday once again!! We shared to awesome devotionals from Our Daily Bread. The first devotion is called “The ‘What’ In Sharing Our Faith”. This devotion talks about how we may be afraid to share our faith but when we shift our focus to what we are sharing it gets easier. To read this devotion click HERE.
