We know that God, who commands everything in heaven and on earth, is our provider. We know He resources His kingdom work according to His purposes. But how does that play…
The Importance of Thank You By Douglas Shaw
Rule #36: Saying Thank you to donors is necessary and profitable Saying thank you – it sounds so simple, right?
