CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
There will be times in your life that you may question God and His plans for you. These times are usually when you struggle, lose someone, or uncertainties in life. But, I tell you this – God’s plan is perfect. He’s timing is always right. It may not seem like it but have faith that God is working His ways for the better of you.
MOLESKIN:
My brothers, as I host my last Q (at least for this year) I am truly grateful and honored to be part of such an amazing brotherhood that we have here in F3. I was supposed to stay for only 6 weeks here in the US and that 6 weeks turned into a year. And you guys made it truly memorable for me and my family. You have made a huge impact on my life and my family’s. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you and until next time! I love you, brothers!

MARY: No time 

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA Actually forgot to do this. Whoops 

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

This was my 30th Q and first of 3 days in a row, hence the 30s and 3s all throughout the beatdown. 

Luke 12:48 says… “With much power, comes much responsibility.” Wait… that was Uncle Ben Parker from Spider-Man. What it ACTUALLY says in Luke is, “When much has been given to a man, much will be required of him.” We are rightly held to a higher standard as members of the Body of Christ. Because God wants all to be saved, he insists on us spreading the Good News. WE have been given the Gospel, it is OUR duty to save the lost.
