He was falsely accused of raping a woman, & he was falsely imprisoned for many years. The truth is, that by the world’s standards, Joseph deserved to be an angry individual, but praise be to God, that he trusted the Lord. Through the Lord, Joseph was able to be happy in every situation. So, please stay tuned as Pastor Allan teaches us How to be Happy.

Some doubt because they don’t really want to know the truth, & then there are those who are honestly seeking answers to their questions. Those skeptics that are honest & genuine are welcomed by the Lord because reasonable answers exist for those who are sincere. So please stay with us as Pastor Allan gets underway.
