Pastor Paul Malcomson
Some of you will remember Pastor Paul, an Irish Missionary who is establishing a church community in Walthill, NE. He was our guest for the May 14th Wednesday prayer meeting. Pastor Paul shared his amazing testimony of how God radically saved him and changed his life. His challenging call to complete and total surrender will impact your walk, perhaps forever. It is our privilege and honor to welcome him to Glad Tidings. He will be speaking at all three weekend services. Begin praying into this weekend now and invite someone to be your guest. To find out more about his calling to Walthill, NE, go to projects page under "Missions".
