What other acts of faith can you demonstrate?

14 My dear brothers and sisters, what good is it if someone claims to have faith but demonstrates no good works to prove it? How could this kind of faith save anyone? 15 For example, if a brother or sister in the faith is poorly clothed and hungry 16 and you leave them saying, “Good-bye. I hope you stay warm and have plenty to eat,” but you don’t provide them with a coat or even a cup of soup, what good is your faith? 17 So then faith that doesn’t involve action is phony. (James 2:14-17 The Passion Translation). 
Faith without works is dead. (James 2:26)

Captain Tom Moore, a 99 year old army veteran aims to raise £1,000 ($1,250) for the National Health Service. Whilst on lock down he decides to do a hundred laps of his garden. As of the time of writing he has raised a staggering £25,000,000 ($31,250,000).

99 years old! This is a demonstration of faith in spades.

Whilst on lock down, instead of worrying about how you can receive, focus on what you can give. You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”(Acts 20:33 NLT).

In addition, to praying for our front line health professionals and clapping at 8pm on Thursdays- what other acts of faith can you demonstrate?
