These trials will show that your faith is

genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong

through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and

honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed

to the whole world. 1 Peter 1:7 NLT ABOVE AND

BEYOND UPDATE A&B Commitment totals: $9,434,353.37 Received to date: $1,519,518.17
