    Signs, Wonders & Evangelism // Facing the Canon with Daniel Chand

    Before meeting Jesus, Daniel believed that he was “on fire for the devil,” living a life far from God. But everything changed when he faced a possible prison sentence.

This week, J.John sits down with Daniel Chand, an inspiring evangelist whose powerful story of redemption is now impacting lives around the world. From darkness to purpose, Daniel is witnessing incredible signs and wonders through his ministry. You won’t want to miss this honest and hope-filled conversation. -- Follow Daniel Chand on social media: @evangelistdanielchand. Visit his website: wljm.org.
