The Generational Impact of Discipleship
What if one simple invitation could change your family tree forever? In this powerful Father's Day message, Pastor Clarence Hill Jr. shares the incredible story of how his father's life was transformed on July 4, 1966, when a postal worker named James Lay stepped outside his comfort zone to invite him to church. That one act of obedience didn't just save one man, it changed generations.
