This week’s episode of The Journey Home was an encore of our conversation with Dr. Jonathan Fuqua, a Pentecostal whose study of philosophy led him to the Catholic Faith.

A member wondering if this is the year she should start OCIA,  another member who’s thinking about going back to graduate school now that they’ve become Catholic, and all our members who just entered the Church at Pentecost — these are just a few of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
