Understanding the Word of God Today

IFFAsia invites each one to attend a Theological Series entitled "Understanding the Word of God Today". This series, which is being conducted as part of IFFAsia's Laity in Mission Program, consists of four (4) sessions, discussing different topics which tackle the relevance of God's Word to one's faith life today. It will be conducted during four Saturdays, starting September 25, 2010.
