Bible Memory Flashcard | TMS
Growth is Our Goal – Memorize God’s Word As Pastor Rob mentioned, If you want to memorize Scripture but aren’t sure what to memorize or how, the Topical Memory System is a great way to begin your journey to store God’s Word in your heart. It’s simple and easy-to-use — and will help you memorize key verses that point to basic truths and important instruction.
The TMS focuses on how to live a life of Christ-focused, assured discipleship, and the TMS: Life Issues focuses on significant, relevant issues that face us on the road through life, such as anger, dealing with sin, suffering, and knowing God’s will. Link Here

Colombia Church Plant
God is doing amazing things at the church we helped plant in Colombia. The building is currently under construction but that hasn’t stopped the believers there. The church is making a difference in the community and meeting under a tree to worship and have service. Please continue to pray for Colombia as their COVID numbers have increased recently.
