Just Start (George Lamptey)

God proves that He wants to be a part of your life; the constant pulling and tugging becomes real when George looks into the sky in his weakest moment. We hear why the Bible on George's 21st birthday was the best gift he's received and how a seemingly small start, makes the world's difference.
