Roland is committed to stand in prayer as a "watchman on the wall" and to see the church fully awakened to the knowledge of God. 


Recently I met an old friend at a party. We had not met in a couple of years. He is a manager of a very big non-Christian humanitarian organization that does a lot of very good work.

We had a very long and good conversation. After that evening, I was ashamed about myself and my heart attitude. For years I have - in a certain way- judged his work, mainly because he does it out of humanism and he does not know the Lord.

Envy is like the Mc Donald's menu; no matter what you eat – whether it's a deceptive salad or a juicy burger – it will always take a toll on your body, if not eventually kill you.
