from Shanthi, We praise God for this year’s 2nd seminar, BTCP Course 7. All the participants arrived safely from different parts of the State well prepared to receive the inputs.

Well we just finished a great day of ministry. I preached two messages at BHEL and Jeff shared his testimony (he did a great job). There were probably around 700 people at the service which lasted 3.5 hours! One of the amazing parts was listening to the people pray for over an hour (although we…
