Fall in love with Jesus
We don’t know how it started. Maybe she made one wrong friend and that led her to another then another. Perhaps she dated one wrong guy in school and that set her on the path of trouble. Somewhere something went terribly wrong. Before she knew it, she was in crisis. That can happen to anybody.

Great Faith to Accomplish God’s Will Part 3
