For those who want to receive Jesus Christ, please repeat after me:
"Dear God,
I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, who died on the cross for my sins and rose again. I invite Him to come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me for my sins and give me a new life in Jesus Christ name, Thank You for Your love and salvation. Amen."
Final Prayer
"Lord, thank You for the promise of restoration and hope. Help us trust in Your sovereignty and provision, just like the good figs. May we yield to Your will and be used for Your glory. Thank You for Your promises and Your presence in our life. Amen."

Have a good Sunday & Be all blessed in His name.
