Our prayer is that the Lord rapidly increases the number of disciples, house fellowships and shepherds and that a large number of people become obedient to the faith (Acts 6:7). May the Lord be glorified! For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen (Romans 11:36).
