4 Reasons We're Excited To Launch This Site
We exist to help people see how their life actually can change the current reality that 42% of the world’s population has never heard the story of Jesus.

I long for the ability to communicate with them on a deeper level, yet I am depending on my smiles and my few Arabic words to convey everything I cannot express with complex words.
