I just came back from Jordan where I have visited the Syrian Refugees in Jordan, and witnessed the wonderful work of the Church; ministering and reaching out to un-churched brokenhearted, weak, sick, hungry, thirsty and poor in spirit refugees. The Church is demonstrating the love of Jesus and obeying His command “Love your neighbor as yourself”.

    The Spontaneous Multiplication of Churches
