Oh no, here comes Joe Again!
Oh, no.
He comes, Joe again.

At just the right time, we will reap a
harvest of blessing if we don't give up.
Galatians six verse nine.
Literature evangelist, Joe payola
first met Roma 12 years ago.
She'd been raised in a Christian home,
but now that she had young children, God
and church were no longer a priority.
A friend of Roma's referred Joe to her.
Over several years, Rome eventually
purchased many books and DVDs from Joe.
Now.
Years later, God reconnected us again.
Reports Joe.
Roma was happy to see me.
She said that it was only a few days
ago that she had been thinking about me.
Then she heard me whistling
outside of the front of her
door and knew that I was there.
Roma invited Joe in and soon
shared her good news with him.
She had been baptized at the SAMO
in seventh day Adventist church in
Carrum downs, Melbourne Victoria.
After her baptism, she had thought about
the many visits Joe had made to her home.
I wanted to thank you.
And I wondered if I was
ever going to see you again.
She said.
Did you know, That many times when
you came to see me, my attitude
was, oh, no, he comes Joe again.
But now looking back, I can
see the reason behind it or.
Taking the book, the great controversy
from her bookshelf Roma said it
had sat on her shelf for awhile.
I often tried to read it, but
just couldn't get into it.
She said.
Then suddenly it happened.
I couldn't put it down.
I read it every day and it all made sense.
The great controversy opened
Roma's eyes to church history.
To how many people had died for
their faith and to future events
and the second coming of Jesus.
As Roma flicked through the book, the
words from page 50 of coal port and
ministry came to my mind, says, Joe.
It is true that some who buy
the books, we'll lay them on the
shelf and seldom look at them.
Still God has a care for his truth
and the time will come when these
books will be sought for and read.
