Thought for the week – Wind: Many of our fellow humans feel indifferent towards the Church, or harbor resentment from their experience of Christianity. So here’s the question for today: Are we brave enough to pray for a wind storm? Do we dare ask God to pour out the Holy Spirit on each of us and on the Church with power and might, as God did for these early believers?
