Ezekiel 2:7 "You shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse .." Some years ago it was said I was resilient for the Gospel. Elijah was described as a pest (resilient as ...) Yes, I like that! John 15 verse 5: "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without me you can do nothing."
Mark Tronson said he was truly thankful to their financial supporters in their tirelessness, especially now as he himself is steadying down and bit by bit passing on the baton to a new fresh generation.
How blessed he says is Delma and himself, with the privilege now of mentoring the next generation of Christian leaders 'in the field' as it were!
Micah 4:5 "But we will walk in the name of the Lord our God Forever and ever."
