OFFERINGS
Offerings are an opportunity to ask for support or assistance. We, at WBFIT Center are doing just that, We are offering to share our teachings in hopes of activating a ripple, as the stone does when thrown into water. Each person we connect with to learn, teach, and share from is another stone creating ripples.
