2022 XN Year in Review: From Foundation to Framework
Despite the tragic start, the year brought many blessings, surprises, ministry fruits, and personally, life-changing moments. Below is a summary of some of the incredible work God has done and testimonials about how He touched lives this year...
Introduction
Like many others, 2022 was a year of ups and downs for me and my ministry work.

Christians: God Is NOT ANGRY at you when you sin!
Sometimes God has the reputation of being angry all the time - and a lot of people who grew up in the church were told that when they do something wrong God is disappointed and will come down on them hard if they don't behave. Is that true?
