672 | The Value of Preparation

We are bombarded on every hand to prepare for our futures. Yet many of us neglect the most important preparation of all. We do not prepare for eternity. We live our lives to ourselves without any regard for God, His Son Jesus or the gift of salvation He gives to all who will receive. Join us in this broadcast of Woman at the Well Ministries as Kim reveals the truth about what the scriptures tell us about the importance of preparing our souls for an eternity with Christ.
