Serving with Open Hands: Paul & Patty Collier (Part 2)

What this episode covers

In the first part of the Colliers’ story, we heard remarkable accounts from Paraguay—stories of lives transformed as individuals surrendered themselves to Christ. In this episode, we follow their move from Paraguay to Costa Rica and witness how God continued to work through their ministry, shaping the lives of believers in their new community.
