A thought from Pastor Fred:
"God has a tendency of picking up a nobody, to be a somebody, in front of everybody, without consulting anybody I’m that man who was raised from the dead after being shot 3 times to the back of the head, and neck with the help of Holy Spirit in the month of May the 26,1990. And lives to tell the story!"
