Christ and the Commandments. It includes an invitation to free Bible

is leading.
3) The hearts of people will be receptive as they hear the Bible-based
messages.

Two resource DVDs will be U.S. Priority Mailed on January 30 to
churches that are registered participants with NET 2006. Others can get
prayer resources on the NET 2006 host site (www.unlockthesigns.com/host)
