24/7 Serve December 2013/January 2014

Wow, winter has rushed in like a lion, ha. We trust that the love of God will burn in our hearts so that those who are cold and lonely will feel the warmth of His love through the love and generosity of His people! How will God use First Baptist Church Norfolk, Big Serve and other experiences to open doors for the gospel during this season?
