Rien ne vaut une bonne histoire

Récemment, j’ai eu l’occasion de participer à un service de baptême. J’adore ces types de services. Ils sont probablement mes préférés. L’une des meilleures parties est d’entendre les récits de ce que Dieu a fait dans la vie des gens. Ce que j’ai entendu ce jour-là était émouvant, inspirant et
