Well, the G3 2023 Conference is over. My wife, myself, and our three children had a FANTASTIC time. It was such a blessing! We stayed with some friends of ours (Brother Lewis Kiger and his wife, and Brother Todd Bryant and his wife). The nine of us rented a house near Atlanta and enjoyed the…

The Coming G3 Conference and an Apology
