Although we don\u2019t know each other, yet we are united closely as one through love of Christ as one Body of Christ.\u00a0The Sunday School in a Box\u00a0players were received and distributed to the hands of both elderly illiterate and young children Christians. It is such a beautiful thing to send them the tools so that they can hear the gospel more and bring abundant spiritual blessings to them!
