A Quote by Michelle Williams

Podor is a nice town. It's at the north of Senegal near the river. The town faces the other country that is Mauritania.

It was just at the middle, and so it's where a lot of cultures of West Africa come together.

But he came under the condition that "I want and I'm called to make this a multiethnic church." So they knew. He's interesting because he's part-Asian, part-white. He's married to a Hispanic woman, so that's their family and that's their vision.
Let's say you want to do a job, and you want to be really successful. You want to rise really high in that career. But where you live, that job doesn't exist. Your town's too small. Or maybe the business is your town, but even if you reach the pinnacle there, because it's a small town, it's not nearly as high as you could go. If you're unwilling to move, well, that's all on you. That's a limitation you're placing on yourself. Now, that's fine if that's what makes you happy.

Behold how Christ is the foundation of the church and the apostles are the foundations!

When I was sixteen, I began to think outside the box of my small town. Not that the people in my small town are in a box - they're not!
