Even in Wintertime, It's Summer in These Hearts

If you think hearts that have grown cold cannot experience new life, take a minute to read the following first-person accounts from a recent Life Action summit. If you are someone who prays for God to pour out His life-changing power on our nation, these will encourage you greatly!
