Bible Character Example: Philip
Philip, an early deacon in the New Testament, showcased his willingness to follow the Holy Spirit's guidance by facilitating the Gospel's spread, including his encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch. Like Philip, a bus driver plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe transportation of guests, reflecting the heart of service and responsiveness to their needs in ministry.
