Motivation
Our desire is to serve God, and to do our part to help others grow in their
relationship with Him.
We have striven to make this a powerful, quality program, and still make it
simple and intuitive to operate. It is our desire that God be praised, as He is
the source of all good things.
James 1:17, NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no
variation or shifting shadow.
