The Cry for Faith
Daily I am confronted with this heart cry for faith. The one in despondence seeks to find someone who can believe for him. He cannot believe for himself, and yet he has every privilege and every right in the family of God. He knows that [...]

Recently, Guy Vieira, president of Positive Words, Inc., (the US-based worldwide outreach arm for Peter Wade's teachings and books) and MaryShannon, his wife traveled to Christ's Church in Waldorf, Maryland to present the exciting truths from the book Dead & Alive by Peter Wade. This [...]
