May God save Japan from this ravaging catastrophe
about 1 year ago
So incredibly sad…. How easily we can forget with all the confusion and mass chaos going on right now. Maybe at times it is easier to cope and not see, yet the souls of men and women greatly should take heed right now to what is happening to Japan, perhaps God has given them time an space to repent, i pray that many have put a saving hope in God by now, because it seems they rely more on the human will more than seeking God. Would be a wonderful time to spread the Gospel there, praying the ones who are are stedfast and blessed. Thanks for this.
