There are several reasons: The 92nd Psalm puts it this way, "Those planted by the Lord, Unshaken is their rest, Even to an old age shall flourish, And still bring forth their fruit."

How can one be a Christian and do little or nothing with their life? James puts it this way as I’m sure many of you have heard it before, that "FAITH BY ITSELF, IF IT HAS NO WORKS IS DEAD."

Jesus came among us "AS HE THAT SERVES."

Another thing we all want one thing in life—HAPPINESS. There are many ways that people try to get it. I long ago found that one of the best ways to get happiness is to give it to others.

NO MAN LIVES TO HIMSELF ALONE. Fragrance stays with you (like flowers)

Being with the Joy Fellowship enables me to witness.

One day before we started to work on renovating the building to open our Siloam Coffee House we visited a small town and saw a small church building. But there was no wall on the front because some people who opposed the house becoming a church destroyed part of the building. They wanted to stop the church.

The woman we met is the only worker in the church. She offered her house (her mother gave her) to become the church but her sisters didn’t agree. When her mum passed away, her sister destroyed the house because they were angry that their mum left the house to be a church.

The woman fixed the house by herself and used any materials she could scrounge from the neighborhood. Now she lives in the house to protect the building and opposes any intimidation and violence alone. When we approached the entrance of the church we warmly and happily invited us in. When she found out that we were Christians, too, she talked about the gospel to us. She told us the story of this church. Then we prayed together for the church and this dear woman, our sister in Christ. And her faith was encouraged. She defends their church staunchly and joyfully relies on our Lord.

Even though we don’t have our own church yet, we must be faithful and determined like this sister of the church.
