Go and Make Disciples of All Nations


Matthew 28:18-19 (CEB): Jesus came near and spoke to them, "I've received all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Peace be with you. Stay safe. Stay strong. Take care of one another.
