Strange how God works, huh?

And in answer to the question, NO, we do not bring in someone to preach who calls us asking to come. We have to know that God is speaking to us about having someone in, and we do not have very many special speakers at all.

Things like this is what I'm talking about,man training the preachers.Man always have a word for you.
