Elder Danford gave a short exhortation regarding evangelism. His heart as an evangelist becomes so clear when he speaks, and the congregation responds verbally with "Amen" and "Hallelujah" and an exuberant tongue-fluttering cheer to the Lord.

Then it was time for Pastor Philipo to proceed with his message. The atmosphere changed once again, as this strong shepherd addressed the flock with care and concern, teaching them the word of the Lord.

I couldn't help but notice Pastor Philipo's Bible. Though weathered and worn, it seemed to me to be strangely beautiful for the wear, bespeaking the years of prayer, years of use, years of relationship with his God.
