Revelation 14:12-13 12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. 13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Pastor LeeNorris & Co-Pastor Cheryl Cuff and Power Hour Ministry – Tifton, GA
