Could we have the stats on that please?
You are all welcome. My hope is that all 65 of you will, if not yet, baptized in the grace of love, and that your contribution would greatly help to imprint positivity in the mind of you fellow citizens of the BVI, especially most of our youths that are confused of in their mind, not now knowing the best preset path to journey in, good or evil. Chose good.
May the remaining coming seconds, minutes, hours and days of this Calendar year be pleasant, and in the coming year you will experience Spiritual, mental, physical, and financial growth.
