THE ROLE OF THE 21ST CENTURY CHURCH IN THE EDUCATIONAL, INFRASTRUCTURAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE DEVELOPING WORLD Part I

The first line captured me so much. Misunderstanding what the church is to do is misunderstanding God's overall mission this is very correct, when you are ignorance of what God wants from the church you lost everything.
Thanks for Sharing this powerful word.
God bless you @idclem.
