Praying for lost sheep

by Jacky Navarro | April 23, 2017 5:04 PM

What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing! Luke 15:4
