i love the point Preston made about evangalist not seeing the fruit of their work. I believe God gave that to me. sometimes we are literally just the seed planters 💕
And the biggest thing is obedience. I struggle with sharing the Gospel bc I get in my head & I’m selfish (like most people are)
reminded me of 1 Corinthians 3:6-14 when you mentioned how one's role could just be planting the seed.
Amen
Same here.
Idea:
The old religious/Greek figures give mental/physical diseases through black magic and the medical community. They are schizophrenia, They are narcissism. They get inside bodies and conrol from afar.
The old religion and Greek figures are all controlling our bodies and are the voices. They are getting in our bodies to rape, murder and speak thoughts that are not our own. They have long term evil intentions and a very long past to cover up.
Religion has been used against the human population and the fear of hell for a long term purpose of keeping us controllable. This is beyond full body/mind control they can do magic style.
The old religious figures and Greek have put people in genders of bodies that are not their own with an evil purpose. This is why trans people exist. And surgery is a basic human right. They are also responsible for detransitioners existing. They abuse on gender and sexuality and control in these areas to attempt to confuse and change souls from who they are.
The old religious/Greek figures are arranging the marriages/relationships of the populace without consent. The psychic rapes are from old religious/Greek figures not a human person. It’s not kundalini as well.
Twin flame is very dangerous. It’s a fate based system where everything is chosen for you on birth. That life is just planned and it actually is by the old religious/Greek figures to be honest. But truly if you think about extreme poverty and acid attacks you’d have to see life is not fated. It’s a mess. The universe couldn’t know you at 0.
I would never try to take the idea of love or potential of love from someone. It's the idea it was created on birth your lover and it's very fate based. The world and you was done the day you were born.
And it can be used against you the idea of a match up that is chosen in advance of you becoming you by the universe (but is the old religious figures). And that things are set in stone and you don’t choose your partner. It sets you up to not see abuse and to accept any treatment because they are the one. It’s so dangerous. You have a forever someone who will have to work to remain your forever just like you will but it’s not set in stone and no one knows who it is besides you. You just will have a lover.
And it’s the religious and Greek figures trying to control people to get together. By forcing souls to be with one another without consent through manipulation and control.
Trying to get in the idea that the universe knows your partner or yourself better than you.
Trying to plant signs of something that is not. They do this with all sorts of topics. They are the one touching you and talking to you. Evil Cupids. Evil People.
We all will win though. And people will know that control exists. Who is truly at fault. And love will be found. If you want it. And there is unlimited food/drink in heaven.
I wish you all the best.
😅😮😢…😂❤😁
I just LOVE this podcast.
So happy to see believers actually doing ministry in real life (evangelism) it’s very encouraging.
I love what Jackie said about “holiness” it’s so true.
God spoke to me this many years ago…
It’s not about perfection it’s about faithfulness!!!
God wants a FAITHFUL BRIDE and you can’t be faithful if you’re entertaining and flirting with the world.
Love you guys ❤
Love to see you here ❤️ I love your channel babes!!
Come on!!
❤
"Being mindful of the ways the enemy can show up AFTER ministry is important."
~Jackie
Amen!!
Amen ..whew chile! ✝️🙏
Yupppppppp...the necessity of alertness..help us Holy Ghost
Ive never seen two people more perfect for each other, like two puzzle pieces that just fit. Also, the word was very good.
“Don’t be discouraged Preston. I use it all.” -God Whew! That encouraged me!
I just love her intro “Hey Saints and Aint’s.” 😂😅 makes me laugh every time
The first time I realised what she said really cracked me up 😂
🙋🏿it tickled me too.
For anyone needing proof that the spirit Preston encountered was from the enemy: 1 John 4:1-3.
Thank you, Jesus for putting these two people in my path and using them to grow my relationship with you!
"Something about being in the Word of God that just protects you"
-Preston Perry
WHEW AMEN 🙏 🙌🏾 👏🏾
The Proverbs 31 Joke had me in tears 😭😭. I’m so glad these videos are dropping back to back. Please keep them coming because both of you are so wise and knowledgeable. As a young adult, I really appreciate all of your videos 🤍. I have learned so much from you two & will continue. 😊
That whole part got me deceased 😂😂😂😂😂
Same sis 🤣 I was about to comment the same thing 😂
Jackie is so funny 😂😂😂 when she asked Preston if he hears from the Lord better when the room is dirty 😂😂😂😂
I hollered 😂😂😂
So yall just coming out the gate on fire this season!!! These first two episodes were 🔥 🔥🔥
Yup...they just coming out!!!!!!🤎
Hey Perry’s I hope you see this comment because it isn’t in real time. I was a Jehovah’s Witness from birth to 37. You can’t fathom how hard it is for a born-in Jehovah’s Witness to come to Christianity. After 4 years I have to continually reject the indoctrination as it comes. I believe that God has given me certain gifts to help them. I am waiting for Gods timing and direction. I would love to speak with either or both of you.
Rochelle
I hope they see this!
That's amazing! I pray God gives you strength to embark on this ministry! Don't give up. Gob less
Wow! I can’t believe that I got all these likes and comments. The Lord is so faithful and richly blesses my efforts. I had a nudge to read Philippians, Colossians and Thessalonians and then back to John, boy o boy, I am like following this map is so easy if you just read it and not just the highlight reels. Is anyone into Star Trek like me? It’s like that episode where McCoy had to put Spock’s brain back and he exclaimed after using “the teacher “, It’s child’s play.!
@@rochellejones-thomas6754whoa, I feel like the spirit just spoke to me right now. Bc I was just realizing how I want to get back into reading the actual Bible. Not watered-down devotionals (although those can be helpful for different seasons) I need a deeper philosophical dive into scripture. Anyways. I have been watching star trek on paramount plus bc it reminds me of my father who was a Trekkie. The main reason I like it is bc it focuses on humanity and its pitfalls but also its achievements. So, I was screenshotting your comment for the books of thee Bible and I thought man I wish I had some Christian friends into star trek... That is all lol. Blessings to you as you discover the Bible and learn more about your identity in Christ!
😍❤ The Perry's are just right on time so relavent for todays age, please continue...WE NEED TO HEAR GODS VOICE THROUGH YOU GUYS💯
Preston love your heart for Jesus, your passion for scripture, your calm and respectful demeanor 😊🙏 your a blessing and keep living for our king Jesus 🙏🙌
"He (the enemy) had a door through my lack of purity. We can't just be ignorant we have to be holy. That's the way we guard ourselves in spiritual warfare! Jackie Hill-Perry
Amennnnn
This sure got me!
"Famous Hypocrite" what a great talk!
I am a stay at home, homeschool mom of 5, whom my husband and I are trying to raise up in the Lord. I've been so discouraged lately. Thank you for sharing on this podcast. I hadn't realized how all the daily struggles could have a deeper spiritual origin. Thank you for the reminder that this is a ministry, and it's being attacked because God is at work. You helped strengthen my resolve to ground myself in His truth and cover our daily moments in prayer. You are a blessing.
The way that your transparency encourages me in a time when I want to turn my back away from the big C church….phewww 😅 Love y’all ❤️
Preston that’s a word there: we are not always going to see the fruit of the seeds we plant; we need to be ok with that. Yes! Thank you!
I would love a “prayer class” with the Perry’s
John 4:24 you need the Holy Spirit in order to communicate and worship God
Same here - I often don't feel equipped enough, or that I'll have the answers to people's questions. I need to dig into apologetics more probably
@@gabespeedcobb1 obviously... but the sentiment that was written in was more of genuine appreciation for how they teach and share their love of Jesus.
"Even distractions are opportunities." So good! God uses everything.
The way God is speaking to me through this is amazing. I've been (am) struggling with sexual immorality for the longest time. I prayed about it, fasted about it and all the things but I faltered again yesterday. God made me realize something this morning and it was somehow solidified through this conversation. I can't wait to have a full on testimony about it years from now. I managed to stop myself from doing it again, I definitely see God's hand in it because I spoke to him about it last night.
God definitely uses everything and I'm grateful that He's turning these ashes into beauty.
Same with me and what kept on popping up in my mind is that when God said my people perish because of lack of knowledge so for the past two years I've been learning what happens when sex is used outside of his glory- so the Lord sent me to Genesis 6 in the bible THAT IS the first time sexual immorality is ever talked about when the sons of God lusted over the daughters which later on let the the world almost being extinct. Moreover sex trafficking, rape,porn - all that and the people who take part in it made me think about how the Lord would judge them even me even if I'm not " as sexual immoral as they are" would receive that same judgment....so I was like nope I do not want to Grive my father's heart like that so ...what you need to do is ask God to renew your heart and mind through READING HIS WORD !❤
Definitely not uncommon. Probably the most common sin known to man. That’s something I struggled with on & off dang near my whole life. I’m 23. It’s a fight every day.
I’ve been struggling with this too and It doesn’t help that my boyfriend is constantly tempting me. I don’t know what to do and I’ve been feeling so discouraged 🫤
@@ThatgirlreecyCut the relationship OFF. I knew it was wrong, kept falling, became pregnant, married...ended up in psychiatric care, divorced and FELT like a second class Christian for years. Please listen....the short term pain and loneliness (take up your cross and follow HIM) will not only enable you to grow and experience Gods faithfullness but avoid YEARS of regret and pain.
I'm really touched by how you both pray together & for each other, & how you converse about your experiences while serving the Lord ❤
I love the message about seed waterers and not having the expectation to see the salvation of everyone with your own eyes. That is so good! I have noticed many churches looking at metrics like # of decisions for Christ (hands raised or people coming forth during alter calls) as the basis for success or progress. They act like tech start ups acquiring new users and I don’t think it pleases God as much as strokes the ego.
Especially when it isn't followed up personally and/or discipleship programs....the Word says 'go and make DISCIPLES of all nations....not just conversion experiences).
Seeing a grown man of God like Preston is so encouraging! The combination of humbleness, calm and self-reflection but without hindering fire for and firmness in truth is more miraculous to witness to me than outward healing. A heart truly changing is the biggest testimony! As a 20 y/o in youthgroup with many people with lots of fire for God but still newborn in our faith and stuck in the world oftentimes the topic of spiritual growth which entails growth in character is growing more and more important… if theres no episode on this yet I’d be grateful to hear y’alls perspective!!
"You can't just be ignorant you have to be holy"!! Please do another one in more depth of spiritual warfare! This is good
Jackie dropped a gem! God is stronger than the opposition and believing that we can ask for the divine protection of our Father. 🙌🏾
Planting a seed allow God to make the increase this was an AMAZING conversation 🎯📢🏆 I absolutely LOVE the body of Christ keep speaking Brother and Sister ❤️
"Purity preserves you!" Was literally thinking about this line of discussion today. Thank you God for confirming your word to me.🙏🏾
Man, I am so very grateful that these two continue share their gifts with us. God bless them and their family from generation to generation going forward, please.
I love how yall said we sometimes wint see the full harvest of our labor! 1 cor. 3:6-8 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
Chippy - touchy and defensive, especially on account of having a grievance or a sense of inferiority.
That was a new one for me too. Lol! I love learning new words. Thanks for this message. Very timely.
“You thought you were a rubber band” 😂😂
Talking about pursuing holiness reminded me of 1 Timothy 6:11, “But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.”
Wow i love that Preston spoke to us not always seeing the fruit of the labor. I get discouraged sometimes not knowing the end result but this is encouraging. God uses everything!
Prayer clears our minds and hearts, so we can hear God’s voice with clarity and confidence! Thank you both for the wisdom and truth!
I just love how you guys boldly speak on holiness and purity
Most preachers don't preach this anymore
When Preston repeated what that eclectic looking man said, all I heard was “you the on that killed my momma in 78!” 🤣😂 I hope I remembered the year correctly 🙃
You gotta be a real one to catch Jackie’s joke “was it proverbs 31?” 😂😂😂
omg I was cracking up when she said this 🤣🤣
"Turn to Proverbs" has me giggling.
"I'm chillimg" "you always chilling" "pshhmxm" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
Purity clarifies your gift! The work you both are doing is so important. I love the example you all set of what it looks like to find your life partner that is in alignment with your purpose. God bless you and your whole family until the 10th generation!!
This is the one - the conversation that is needed. Holiness and discipline are necessary controls for whoever endeavors to be about the ministry life. To disregard them is flat our audacious.
Samson is such a clear example and warning of misusing the gifts from the Lord. He abused his God-given gift, breaking the Nazarite vow even as he ate honey from a carcass. The Lord still used him for His eternal purposes and showed Samson mercy by giving him repeated warnings to repent. God even showed Samson how eager Delilah was to betray him, but still Samson in his pride thought he could continue to break the Nazarite vow without suffering any hurtful consequences. Ultimately, Samson's sinful indulgence became his downfall. God cannot be mocked, a man reaps what he sows. May we heed this warning to humbly and fearfully use God's gifts for His purposes and His glory alone. Love y'alls ministry, thank you for faithfully worshipping the Lord in Spirit & Truth💗
"I think God wants to raise up a generation of evangelists who are ok with being seed planters." Ooooowee!! Thats good!
I worked as a Communications Director at a church where the Executive staff often joked that I was their online pastor lol. Its no joke that when your ministry is creating engaging content, advertising, building an attractive website, and praying for people in your DMs -- you have to be OK with never knowing in this life if you helped bring them to faith.
What keeps you from pride is dependence on community! 🔥🔥🔥
All good and evil things that happen in this world, both natural and spiritual reveal God and His will ❤
"You never wanted longer knees" I don't know why that made me laugh.
I was expecting her to say longer legs--on top of saying it with a straight face.
You guys continue to crack me up.
I like that “God saying I USE EVERYTHING”!
Jesus is Lord! I love the convo and I love the work God is doing thru y’all!!❤
“that’s alright, my security in Jesus” ..when you gotta play off being wrong the holy way🤣😭
You all preaching truth again 🙌🏾❤️🙏🏾!!! Not only does God use it all from the enemy (confusion, lies, myths, denying Christ's diety) but God can allow it to test us...to see what's in our hearts as His servants (Deuteronomy 8:2). He will use it to grow us in His truth as well as endurance for this opposition. But at the same time, to have the Lord's love even for those that are so blind to His truth.
As someone who has a heart for JWs, Black Israelites, Mormons, and Christian Scientists, I will say just be careful of how much of your pearls you are casting (Matthew 7:6). Like Jesus, there is discernment to know when to walk away. And just like Jesus...you don't have to worry about not having future conversations with those you may have to cut short...the enemy always returns.
“Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Matthew 7:6 NASB1995
A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.
2 Timothy 2:24-26 NLT
Be well and be at peace.
Man I so appreciate you guys. Like Preston I too had taken a season off from doing what God had called me todo. After sitting with a couple looking to court and my wife and I walk with them, which went and ended well. Went home and woke up discouraged at 1AM couldn’t sleep and began watching this episode.
The enemy don’t want us out here fulfilling the Great Commission.
Thanks for the ENCOURAGEMENT!
“But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”
Hebrews 3:13
Be comforted, be at peace, and be blessed - God’s with y’all 💛
“I can’t even be like you without you.”
I’m three minutes in and dying laughing at “why are your hips so far from your fingertips?”
“It’s giving dinosaur” 😭
Preston’s laugh is so awesome! I love his laugh
This is how you know this is God... just the other day I went to Preston's channel to watch what he's been doing regarding street evangelism. Noticed there was nothing updated, so I did a quick prayer and said "Lord, I'm not sure what he's doing now but i know he's still out here in these streets and would love to see his newest work!" And look at God! Perry's there are so many ppl praying for you to continue pushing the gospel forward. Keep going we're (the body of believers) are out here in the trenches w/you! Be blessed!
When Preston said “chippy” I knew EXACTLY what he meant. Lol
It was the right word, it's used in the sports world all the time when a game gets testy! And chipper means happy, like she said, too. They were each right. 😂
Don't forget to thumbs up the video folks! They speaking good't!!
Bruh... this knee-b-l convo had me 😭
Amazing podcast!
"If God is in control of everything then that can be an opportunity to share the Gospel." (After the spiritual distraction)That hit so hard!
Helps me bc knowing God has you in that place for a reason at that moment, don't be discouraged.
God does use everything because I needed this!! this video was incredibly timely. I’m walking into my first year on “discipleship team” at my university and they warned me about the spiritual warfare that would take place this summer. thank you for putting this out here!
"God Gives grace to the humble, and resists the proud" HAHAHAHA JACKIE FUNNYYYY🤣
I’m really praying God covers you both in the blood! Make sure y’all are praying for people like the Perry’s in our prayers.
Seen someone on TikTok going against the word God spoke through Mrs Perry and everyone in the comments came in agreement.
We have to come harder! 😤😤
The enemy of effectiveness is pride…. That is good!
Thankful for this. I’m with a group that does evangelism in the Philly area and I’ve noticed an uptick in spiritual attacks and distractions since I started. I also felt discouraged because I expected more fruit. We aren’t pushy - we just love, pray, and share but as soon as you say “Jesus” walls go up. I know I’m planting seeds but when you keep seeing people push away the greatest treasure it gets discouraging. I love what God told Preston… he uses it all!! Thank you, Lord. That encourages me so much
Know that your evangelism is not NEEDED by you (He is capable of drawing anyone), He Is growing YOU....through your faithfulness in doing what you are called to do in joy and obedience....letting go of expectations that might feed your ego or sense of satisfaction. Do ALL that you do for HIM and HIM alone. God bless.
Totally agree about spending more time in prayer brings us closer to hearing the Father
I love how you guys talked about the importance of living a pure and holy life but especially when you are involved in ministry!
2:19 hearing this story about the leg lengthening saddens me. My son has cerebral palsy and has had 2 SEMLP to lengthen his right leg so he can walk without pain and a AFO (brace). These surgeries are 12-14 hours long and can have extreme reverse effects, like not walking at all. Praying for that young man and finds his worth in Him.
My goodness… this podcast is a blessing fr
" but if you don't get your act together, you're gonna be used... but you're not gonna go to glory "
I needed that.
‘Aww you thought you were a rubber band’ Jackie you’re so funny 😂 love
After reading books about spiritual warefare like “He came to set the Captives Free” you really understand what happened there and how Satan and his demons work in this world. We are so unaware. But God has given us the victory and we have to stand on the authority of Jesus Christ. Jesus has overcome the world
This episode is amazing. Thank you! God, I can't be like you without you 🔥
I totally agree with Preston regarding not seeing the fruits of God work through us. First Corinthians 3:6-9
the part about expectations being tempered once you know your role in the kingdom is so profound ❤️
“Shacky” Shady Jackie, “He resists the proud” 😂😂😂😂 I cannot!
😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾I had no clue how much I needed this message until I finished. Thank God for this beautiful messenger!
I truly love the both of you....I started watching this recording yesterday and I received a disturbing text that I believe the enemy had a big part in, therefore interrupting my recording. To set the scene, I have been praying for a particular loved one fervently, a loved one that once walked with the Lord then turned away and has been struggling in life since. I'm watching from afar this loved one's daily spiral and oftentimes I feel that I'm not equipped enough to help. But as I sat there last night, I could not help but think "I'm handing this situation over to you God, you are a God that's just, you are a God that's a deliverer, you are a God that loves, you are a God that never fails and you are a God that if it is Your will You will handle the whole situation according to Your time line." I believe in my core that my God is bigger than any heartache I may feel currently, and I TRUST IN HIM!!! There IS so much spiritual warfare going on all around us and I believe the enemy is using everything and anything to attempt to sway the pendulum his direction, I believe the enemy is in panic mode because he knows his days are numbered. I will continue to pray for this loved one knowing my God is GREATER and will take hold. So this morning I sat down turned my recording back on and continued to listen. Glory be to GOD!! May GOD continue to be with you Preston & Jackie, and may HE continue to bless you both with wisdom, truth, and protection! In the Mighty Name of Jesus, AMEN!!
The Lord was showing Preston how the gift of discernment was operating in him when it came to the individual. He was sent on an assignment and maybe the dude didn't even know what he was doing. God showed Preston in the spirit of discernment what spirit was operating and it wasn't of God. There must have been something special about getting those females to turn to Christianity and the enemy knew. It can be that one of them is about to revoke their relationship with JW and the enemy sent someone to delay their departure. I would pray that if Preston doesn't get to them, then the lord will send another. It is clear God has something special for them. Also, Preston keep going God has this. The world is getting darker, evangelism is needed and you will encounter more bizarre things as you move into the streets. You are much needed in the body of Christ and your assignment is more great than just teaching in the pulpit. Gear up every time you go out and make sure the warring angels are with you. Best to you both
Yall make things si clear. Yall is blessing me with your wisdom. Thank you. TGBTG
Yall so good for each othet andvfor us. Keep doing yall. I love y'all. I hope me and my husbsnd get to meet y'all one day. IM IN VEGAS so Yall come on down out West.
The first 3.5 minutes of this podcast sent me off...I was on the ground laughing...Jackie be out here shading the hell out of Preston 😂😂😂😂
Man, I love the realness! 😂😂😂 y’all are HILARIOUS. Man ❤
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
The 🎙️ sounds wonderful! Love your work.
Is the Saint shirt Preston's wearing available anywhere?
I literally had this SAME conversation with a friend yesterday. There was so much confirmation! I've definitely felt the spiritual warfare increase as I take steps into deeper ministry work.
The holiness part 😳 YES!
Fear of the LORD!!! Which Jackie mentioned that has kept her on the straight and narrow in ministry. I think that would be an excellent topic to dive into more because it's so lacking and under-preached in churches today...
Lastly, COMMUNITY is soooo key! Love hearing you all discuss your faith with honesty, humility, and transparency. Also, Preston, keep doing the work of an evangelist. And Jackie, definitely a prophetic voice.
God bless, saints! ✌❤
“You’re giving Dinosaur” 😂😂 yo, the way I hollered
“Purity preserves you”….Ya’ll are 🔥🔥🔥 tonight.
When y’all were talking about Paul’s story, I thought to myself “I would love to hear them do a series walking through the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation and break down the stories in semi-hood terminology like they do”…I’m just putting that idea out into the atmosphere…😏…
amen God confides in those he trusts. When we live clean hear him better
“Aww you thought you were a rubber band.” 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Whoooooooaaaa....Purity CLAFIFIES YOUR GIFT...if this aint a word!!
Preston, you’re on the right path…continue. You had a Jesus, Paul, and Elijah moment all within 48 hrs. Congrats! There are many “prophets” but there are not many evangelists training evangelists.
This episode is literally making me holler !!!!!!! Me and my fiancé are over here feeling like we are at church 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Y’all preaching !!!!!
I wish you guys could give a good pep talk to my partner and I on you courage and endurance with one another in relationship. What it truly really takes. With this world and the other guy coming for you individually and for your relationship because my Lord Ive definitely been seeing the enemy trying to discourage my boyfriend and its been leaking on me and Im just at the feet of Jesus. Cause I know you gotta stay with your armor on and you gotta stay surrounded by true Godly people / relationships best you can. But when your guy tells you hes been wrestling with God and doesnt have anyone to really say “ hey I been there and relationships need to be covered in prayer God centered and poured on, get your head in the game”
No community is no good , and we / I have been feeling it and struggling.
Trusting God🙏🏽
You both are an inspiration and encouragement for me. Give me Hope. Thank you❤🙏🏽
1:54 Jackie saying “malnourished” got me 😂
I don’t know I kind of think that the lady he encountered was spiritual warfare as well. As soon as he started describing her demeanor & reaction to him, it reminded me of the demon possessed man that God delivered while teaching & of the man who had a legion of demons in the tombs…in both cases I believe the demons cried out “leave us alone”. The first one Jesus was teaching and the other people were shocked because of the authority he taught with. So Preston coming to them with just the word aggravated a spirit in/on that lady. But love, the love of Christ! It’s disarming! And given what he said to her to disarm her, she may have had really ugly and painful experiences with other Christians…Preston’s approach made her feel safe and appreciated. It’s a beautiful thing!
The Lord’s recently called myself and a group of friends to start a new ministry within our church community and we’ve seen His faithfulness throughout, but this was such a great reminder and encouragement. Thank you Perry’s! 🫶🏽🙌🏽
