SUCCESS STORIES

WK POON

Japan

It has reminded me to pray bigger and more boldly not only for the people of Japan, but for the people that are here. That even when I can’t see or believe it, that it would surely come to be because God has promised it, and that we can always rest on His faithfulness.
