What is your ministry?
I preach the biblical truths to the members and the kids of the Church. I'm involved in disciple-making (youth discipleship). I'm engaged in missionary projects, Bible distribution, and street evangelism.
When did you trust Christ?
I was 17, and for some weeks, I was feeling the Holy Spirit working in me and giving me the desire to surrender my life to God. It was a long process that included my emotions and people that God sent with a specific message for me. I know I was directed towards God by an exterior power: the power of the Holy Spirit. At some point, I was home alone, and I felt a profound need for the presence of God. I sought God's presence, but I also was afraid. I thought I was empowered to seek Him and to pray. At that moment, I prayed and said to Jesus that I didn't want to live without Him anymore. That's when I invited Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of my life.
What have been the defining moments of your Christian walk?
I had many moments in my life that helped me grow. It was especially true when I was going through trials. Once, I had to make a choice regarding my future, but I was confused about my decision to attend a theological seminary. So I prayed for confirmation but didn't receive any. Then, based on my relationship with the Lord, I just stepped out in faith. It was an experience that taught me how to listen to the Lord's voice. Another critical defining moment of my Christian walk was when I was mentored. I didn't grow up in a context where discipleship was a thing, but when I discovered the existence of such a thing, I started looking for mentors, and since I have one, my life of faith has been impacted by it in a good way.
What do you hope to gain from participating?
I believe ELF is going to help me expand my ministry horizon. I expect to be blessed with new ideas, new methods of ministry, innovative and pragmatic methods of leadership, and lots of courage and enthusiasm.
What is your leadership role or what were your past leadership roles?
For three years, I was on the team for the Sunday school ministry. Here, I served by leading the songs and doing different lessons, preaching the biblical truths and the missionary lesson. I also served in summer camps, leading small group discussions and sports activities. I also serve by preaching in churches and preaching street evangelism.
Why should someone invest in your ministry?
People may want to invest in my training and ministry so I can fulfill my calling by raising Christian leaders who will do the work of Christ. I am a person who can identify a context or a situation where I could serve and be helpful. But to be able to do this, I need to expand my knowledge and training and become a good Christian leader.
