Witness Statement
Jesus tells us that where our treasure is, there our hearts will also be. Jesus is our “Priceless Treasure” who helps us to seek the most important things in life, like a saving faith in Jesus. Our witness to the Good News of salvation in Jesus is one of the richest possessions we can share. May we share our faith and hope with joy and excitement. Who can you make rich today by sharing Christ with them? God’s grace has made you overflowing in riches to share with others today with the Good News of salvation.
