3. Covenant – God Calls a People to Wholeness
4. Redemption – Jesus Restores the Broken Image

After three months on Malta, Paul finally sets sail again and begins the last stretch toward Rome. In this episode, we walk with him from port to port, watching how God provides open doors, good winds, and unexpected fellowship along the way.
The journey isn’t over yet, but the finish line is in sight. Every step reminds us that God’s hand is still guiding the mission.

What follows is a powerful display of God’s healing hand as the bitten hand becomes a vessel of restoration for an entire island.
