Makikita natin sa buhay ni Joseph ang isang uri ng tagumpay na hindi nakabatay sa kalagayan o katayuan sa buhay. Sa mensaheng ito, ibinabahagi ni Ptr. Joseph na ang tunay tagumpay ay nasa Panginoon. Tayo ay manatili sa Diyos at maging tapat sa lahat ng ipinagkatiwala Niya sa atin.

Joseph’s life shows us a different kind of success that neither depends on status nor situation. In this message, Ptr. Joseph Ouano urges us to find true success as we abide in the Lord and in remain faithful to His calling.
