I remember the conversation like it was yesterday. It was the first week of November 2005, and Mark had called out to our girls, asking them to join us in the living room. He began to somberly share that if God did not provide a financial miracle, we would need…

Whatever plans he conceived against Israel, they somehow always knew where he planned to attack. This happened again and again. There had to be a spy among his men. When he confronted them, their answer was not what he expected. No one confessed guilt—quite the contrary. “And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words…
