GFA School of Discipleship Graduation Message by Gisela Yohannan
Gisela Yohannan shares with the graduating class on what it really means to graduate. We graduate from a program or a time, but our learning and growing never ends. In our pursuit of the Lord our heart must be seeking to grow in Him and never come to the place that we think we know enough.
An Unexpected Encouragement For An Expecting Mother
