320,000 Hear About God’s Forgiveness in Historic Ethiopia Outreach

As a young man, Pastor Ashebir Ketema was imprisoned for his faith in Ethiopia. For seven months, he endured beatings and attempted brainwashing by a communist government that was in power from 1974 to 1991.

Will Graham Devotion: Have You Thanked God Lately?

Bible Reading: Luke 17:11-19, NKJV As I ponder the amazing love of the Lord, it strikes me that there’s an ongoing risk of taking our salvation for granted.
