Trina and I recently traveled to several Southeast Texas towns on a ministry trip. While the main purpose of our time was to spend time with a number of long-time relationships, we also took time to share and participate in corporate church gatherings. On March 5, we attended an extraordinary service at Cornerstone Church in Cleveland, TX . We weren’t …
Trina and I travelled to Plymouth, Massachusetts in early October and returned with a specific spiritual impression about New England. Our trip was in response to an invitation from Greg & Suzanne Winslow of Hidden Manna Ministries to participate in a multifaceted prayer/ministry event that drew visitors from across the United States.

By Rodney & Trina Kirkpatrick Psalm 127:3-5 NASB Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.
