From the Editor

How much attention did we receive with our first issue? There is no instrument to measure it. Heads can be counted; but sincere acceptances and prayers are “worthless” to measure, they are beyond count. “Come and see, how many missiles a believer’s prayer is worth”… We were well-received in our circles. We saw levels of acceptance as a new initiative that even surprised us. Our wish is to see it multiply in circles like this in future issues.
