The Word of God is able to melt the toughest hearts and reach the most unlikely people. Even savage headhunters don’t stand a chance. It’s because the Word of God is the power to salvation. But in order for people to believe in God, someone needs to tell. Those who follow Christ are called to tell others about the Good News.
