A free flowing river purifies itself and is alive with life. So also is the Christian who becomes involved with others in sharing the Gospel. That Christian will discover the reason for his or her existence. Being involved in the ministry of a witness is essential to finding the fulfilment we desire as humans.

“But I want you to know, brethren that ALL that happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel”.

(Philippians 1:12)

Whenever and whatever I do, I am called to “preach the gospel”.
