Tommy’s Life Scripture
We are “partners” together in the kingdom of God. When Jesus is in our “boat” setting the direction, miraculous things can happen. It’s time for us to stop “toiling” and start trusting. Where are the “deep waters” of your ministry? Knowing better ways to catch fish and having a vision for a great catch of souls is what it really means to be fishers of men!
