Testimonial

"Since I came into the IB ministry I have learned that I am a precious child of God..I am what God says I am..not what everyone else says! I want to be an example for Jesus. So that means to love my enemies and to be bold in the face of adversity as he gives me wisdom to speak. I cannot make choices for anyone else. But I can plant seeds along lifes way while here on earth. I believe if we at IB come together in one mind and of one accord God will add the increase. Sincerely Yours in Christ"
