Summary

As a Christian minister I am passionate about seeing believers grow in their love and sacrificial worship of Christ, and helping the gospel to go out into the nations through church ministry. I have two decades of ministry experience, and have now served in full-time ministry for fifteen years. I have a wide variety of ministry experience, working within teams, leading teams, and starting new ministries across all ages and stages of life. I trust in God’s sovereign goodness over all ministry, and seek to serve Him prayerfully, with humility, wisdom and enthusiasm.
