The Long & Winding Road

Being a Christian in a Time of Crisis

2020 has been a year - As the world seems to go from one crisis to another, I sat down and spoke with 5 people of different ages, living in different countries and varying upbringings to talk about what it means to be in the midst of a crisis and working through it with God by your side. Ams, Moses, Helen, Gift, and Osama share their personal accounts of crisis and how they got through them with God and how without Him it would not have been as easy.
