“Oh praise the one who paid my debt, and raised this life up from the dead!” Praise him for many God-honouring, bible-believing, Christ-centered churches in ‘the Gong’. Praise him for Godly, passionate, wise leaders. Praise him for involved, Christ-like, supportive, loving congregations. Praise, him, praise him, praise him!!
