Wendy Word & Forgiven Ministers To Alabama Tornado Victims

{CGMM} Wendy word & Forgiven Ministers to Alabama Tornado Victims:
 After one of the most devastating storms to ever sweep across our country Wendy and Tony Word are reaching out to help. Wendy states ” I recently toured the tornado damage in my home state of Alabama and was left devastated by the damage this storm had caused. As I drove through Pleasant Grove, all I wanted was to be able to take the hurt away from many that had lost everything even their loved ones. I was especially moved by a message spray painted on a wall of one of the few houses that had anything still standing. It simply read ” WE LIVED”. I couldn’t help but think of all of the spiritual storms that we all face that try to destroy us but, with God, “WE LIVE”
