Pastor Jared & Natalie's Testimony

“All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive. Posterity shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation;”

‭‭- Psalm‬ ‭22:27-30‬ ‭ESV‬‬

You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen! I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:”

‭‭- Psalm‬ ‭22:19-22‬ ‭ESV‬‬
