2016 Trek

Welcome: 
As we begin 2016, I have chosen, after prayer, to go through the New Testament again this    year. I will do one chapter each day for five days each week and chose one scripture or short portion from each chapter and apply the verses to help believers overcome the world, flesh, and Devil.  Let me encourage you to read with me through the New Testament or even the whole Bible this year.  Ask the Lord each day for fresh manna to feed your soul and give you  over-coming power and the joy of victory!  It is the Lord who always leads us in triumph in Christ Jesus!
