Two men in a small sub went down into the deep, dark sea.

What strange creatures live in that darkness? What did they find in the “Midnight Zone”?

READ MORE: Scientists began their exploration of the Midnight Zone in the Indian Ocean in March. They went down deeper than sunlight ever reaches. They spent five weeks exploring underwater mountains and the glow-in-the-dark creatures that live there. People know about some of them. But God created so many more. God loves you so much that even if you live “in the uttermost parts of the sea,” even there His hand will lead you. Read Psalm 139:9-10.
