Drastic times call for drastic action. Perhaps that is why Norma and I (and the Shalom team) believe God is calling us to a great, life-changing decision...

It would be so easy to say, “Too old for new visions and dreams.” But that's not what God is saying. He's telling us “With God, nothing shall be impossible.
