Since 2008 the world economy has been crumbling, falling apart and many nations have been affected, some, like Greenland as a country filed for bankruptcy, while others have seen massive multinational corporations fold over night. We watch the news, and count the numbers of people affected, and then hear from a close friend they have…

In the month of March, there was an event hosted by Breaking Chains Ministries here in North County. The premise of the event was “breakfast in the park” with “loaves and fishes”. We enjoyed delicious fish grilled on the BBQ and pita bread along with snacks and drinks which we shared while having fellowship with…
