Snapshots of a Life Changed: Cornelius

His name is Cornelius and he is an Italian military officer who experienced God, awakening his faith.  God then gathers the church around him and calls Peter to share the good news of Jesus.  This is God’s way: God acts, and the church catches up.

Acts 10:44-48
