We had a great time at Global Council.

Today is a very special day. First, a very happy birthday to my dear wife and best friend, Linda Revell Poitras. Second, our grand-baby, Caidyn James is being dedicated to the Lord today at New Life St. Louis. Life is beyond great with these two blessings and more. Candra Poitras Fiorini Zach Fiorini.
