Thanks Scott, we are praying here in Bozeman for you all to be the light of Christ to these precious people in Nazaret and a great encouragement to the believers along the way. May the Lord strengthen you as a team with His Spirit and give you joy for every part of the journey ahead.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5New King James Version (NKJV)
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ
