Learn which herbal remedies are the most beneficial and effective in fighting the common cold.

The common cold is caused by one of many thousands of viral strains circulating each year. We introduce these viral particles to our bodies when we touch our mouth, nose, or eyes after touching contaminated surfaces. Common symptoms of a cold (or upper respiratory infection) are a runny nose, stuffy nose, sore throat, achy muscles, coughing, and mild fever. Symptoms appear from the interplay of viral replication and the body’s inflammatory response. Some symptoms may appear after 10-12 hours of inoculation and may persist for 7-10 days.

After the first baptism in February of 2016, Imo State now has many Sabbath School members and other interested candidates.

The photos below are of our group in Imo State on September 9, 2017. Always remember us in your prayers because in Nigeria the "harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few".
