Joseph’s Way takes it name from the life of Joseph in the Book of Genesis. God used Joseph to save his family and his nation through years of famine by storing grain during times of plenty to prepare for times of need (Genesis 41). As Joseph told his brothers: “God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive and to preserve many survivors” (Gen. 45:7 NLT).

JW will join the Evangelical Council on Financial Accountability (ECFA) as soon as JW is eligible.
