Preview of MADE for CONVERSATIONS: Conversation ONE
Part 1: God’s Delivery System for reaching every person in every generation and culture for all time with the Gospel has always been MULTIPLICATION: each of His followers living as carriers and communicators of the Good News of Jesus in their everyday lives.
