T4G Conference 2012: Relating it to Housing Schemes (2)

Speaker: Matt Chandler Text: Revelation 21 & 22 Title: The Fulfillment of the Gospel I will say that I find Matt Chandler to be (on the outside at least) an extremely Godly, humble and passionate man for the gospel of the Lord Jesus. He oozes class. I think his appointment to Acts29 is a shrewd…
