c) DOING THE WILL OF GOD God has a plan and purpose for every one of our lives and He gives us grace to fulfill that plan and that is why it is important to do His will.  If you are trying to do something that God hasn’t called you to do then the grace…

b) HUMILITY Paul knew about humility and the grace of God by personal experience. After an amazing revelation from the Lord he received what he calls “a thorn in his flesh” we are not told what this thorn was but Paul asked the Lord to remove it. 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 Three different times I begged the…

  Galatians 2:19-21 For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God. My old self has been crucified with Christ.  It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live…

On our arrival at the bible training center we were introduced to the 24 students who were all from differerent parts of Central Asia. We heard their stories, many of them were tragic.
