One of Jesus’ most famous promises is this precious assurance of answered prayer: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” Luke 11:9.

It is always such a blessing to see the snows melt away and the buds and flowers begin to burst forth from their dormancy.

This great revival will take place; God will have a people resurrected as …
The Missing Fuel Cap Bolivia “Hey, did you know your fuel tank cap is missing?” Mr. Enrique asked when I pulled up in “Ogre,” our dilapidated Nissan Condor truck, to give him a jump-start.
