The LORD has blessed with thousands of souls saved..and thousands of decisions among Christians.
His *Heart-beat* is to minister to a church and not do "his thing" - but to do whatever a local church needs.
One of his burdens is to get good music into the hands of Fundamental Baptist people, and to help the ministry of local churches.
