Opportunities to Share Jesus are Pouring in from Around the World!

Dear Team: The Legacy of Margaret Williams
“It shouldn’t hurt this bad,” read the text message from India. The text came almost three weeks after Mark Burritt and I accompanied ITMI’s David and Taru Kumar to the funeral of Taru’s “mother.” Taru shared that she is deeply hurting and struggling to sleep.
