When did you trust Christ?
I was straight out of university in 1991 when my uncle preached all night that God hides wisdom from the proud and prudent but reveals it to babes from the Gospel of Matthew. Later that night, on my own, the Holy Spirit worked those words through my heart to convict me to conversion. I have learned that humility and total dependence are essential to gain from God. Conversion is a continuous experience under the Holy Spirit. Growth in grace is about growing in the knowledge of Scripture and growing in a deeper relationship with people. This relationship will spark conversations, initiating intimacy with God and His ways.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I expect to learn what works elsewhere. I believe the human nature is the same across all cultures. What principles have been applied elsewhere, and to what effect? What measures of apologetics have been employed effectively to counter this incipient pessimism? I am interested in revivals and the power of God.
What is your ministry?
I am the Lead Pastor of City Hill Christian Assembly in Nigeria. We are challenged by constant pressure from social forces activated by poverty. Our demographic is young, necessitating a dynamic worship flavour. We engage our faith community in mobilising food for families in need.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
Strong leadership is required to keep the faith amidst the draining powers drawing away people's hearts. I have come to realise that exemplary leadership to promote emulator mode transformation is what the community needs. This is due to the attendant cynicism within our social intercourse between church and town.
