“Never forget: the Gospel changes people’s lives, wherever you are.”
Marty MacDonald is a pastor in western New York. At age 65, he’s seen God do some incredible things throughout his ministry career. But Marty’s still expecting that his greater purpose is still to come.
From overcoming an abusive home situation, to starting a house church with really no formal plan, to traveling around the world doing missions work, Marty’s life is a testimony of the faithfulness, love, and power of Jesus Christ. We’re happy to have Marty as our guest on this episode of Limitless Spirit, and hope you’ll be encouraged by the stories he’s going to share.
