Loved listening to you today when you came to St Louis family Church! It's so important to engage the world we are living in, thanks for the reminder.

Mal, you are the man! Great insights on how to stay focused on the truth in a "post-Christian" society and present the message of Jesus in a relevant way to secularized Europeans. Keep it up!
