Even One Counts
Melvin Vazquez Cancel Puerto Rico |
God’s power, mercy, and grace are seen in London, Egypt and Israel as the message of hope and love is shared in the streets and venues. This documentary will serve as a testimony of the simple principle that “even one counts.” Through this production, Hope Through Laughter wants to show you a glimpse of what God has been doing throughout the years around the world. Be inspired and motivated to join God in what He wants to do in and through your life. “The fields are ready,” Jesus declared over two thousand years ago. You and I have received the challenge to “…become all things to all people so by all means possible even one might be saved.” To know we could be used as instruments of the Almighty God in His Loving Plan of Salvation has no comparison. His plan involves us; we ought to “…be ready in and out of season…” |
