This testimony of an American missionary to Iran who went on a short term mission trip is very revealing. At his lowest point of despair, having tried to take his own life, Jesus appears to him in person and assures him of his love and support.
Want to "embrace the apostolic"? Here is true apostolic Christianity. Its not glamorous but it is beautiful. It is humble, but it is GLORIOUS. And it shows forth the mighty power of Jesus Christ to transform any hardened heart. Praise the name of Jesus!
