2020 was a hard year...a revealing year. At the end of 2019 Church leaders around the globe were 'prophesying' that 2020 would be the year of '2020 vision' and boy didn't they get that 100% right!! 2020 was a year when we got a beautiful glimpse of the human heart in all of its wonder …
Engrafted into His Story
