Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - A Wonderful Time to Be Born - #5206
On this Christmas Day, I want to invite you to consider an exciting possibility; that you could have a Christmas birthday for the rest of your life.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - Delivering Someone Else's Package - #3897

You are like the UPS man--you just deliver it.
