Golan - deliverance from unforgiveness Kedesh - deliverance from family life patterns Hebron - deliverance from defeatism Shechem - deliverance from shame Bezer - deliverance from insecurity Ramoth - deliverance from addictions It is the story of how God has used the obedience and persistence of this one small church to develop not only a local, but also a national and an international impact.
