Bob has been our reference to someone who is not against knowing about God but is often uninterested due to the busyness of life. However, through life's circumstances, he questions God and wonders if God exists. In these times, Christians must be available to walk with them. At LJL Church, we want them to come to know us and share lives with us by joining our small groups.
