Taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to MS-13

Taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to MS-13 - pjmedia.com

Excerpt from this article:

"The Apostle Paul wrote most of the New Testament. Yet, the first time we are introduced to Paul in Acts 7, he's overseeing the execution of Stephen, Christianity' first recorded martyr. While reading Danny Gold's story i Longreads about the 'Pastor's' ministry among the notorious gangs of El Salvador, I thought about how the Apostle Paul's murderous past didn't prevent the Holy Spirit from using him for God's glory and the spread of Christ's kingdom."

Please take time to pray for Pat Boon's wife as she battles a serious medical condition. While Pat Boon has done much for God's kingdom in his lifetime, I will always remember him for portraying David Wilkerson in The Cross and the Switchblade!
