Father’s Love Letter

by Jan Drayer on August 12, 2008

Pastor Paul had initiated a preaching series on the Father Heart of God which was very compelling and stretching. Below is a love letter created by a Canadian man, Barry Adams, who had a major breathrough in his life when the Holy Spirit began to reveal the Father Heart of God to him.

The Father’s Love Letter is a series of truths about God’s love extrapolated from the Scripture. I was reminded about this letter by some of our Filipino young people via Facebook. Enjoy!
