very painful struggle. My question of the Lord was very simple.

Do you really want me to birth this church, which is now we call the Church of the Apostles?

I had so much personal doubt. I wasn't really sure whether I'm listening to God.

Am I hearing his voice or am I hearing my own voice?

in order to help in that preparation of the next generation

and that next link of the chain.

First and foremost is the home,
