Do you have a quote you<br />
live your life by or think<br />
about often?<br />
“What shall it profit a man if he<br />

give in exchange for his soul”<br />

potential ME and several other<br />
people around from the ordinary to<br />
the extraordinary<br />
Why did you choose Jesus?<br />
It sounded like a good thing<br />
to do and I believe I must have<br />
been convicted of the Holy Spirit<br />
because even at that young age, I<br />
was not a good boy at all! I have<br />
had to keep at that decision over<br />
the years and I have done so as<br />
there is no other way.<br />
What has changed since choosing<br />
Jesus?<br />
Everything changed for me. The<br />
course of my life has changed.<br />
The reality is that because I<br />
received Christ at an early age,<br />
my world view and way of life has<br />
predominantly been shaped by that<br />
experience.<br />

calling is?<br />
Nation Building and teaching<br />
How has God been challenging<br />
you lately?<br />
There are a number of things I need<br />
courage to begin to do as regards<br />
“my mission”. He says just go ahead<br />
and begin to act in the direction of<br />
what I have said already!<br />
What values are you most<br />
committed to or what are your<br />
guiding principles?<br />
Being the best i can be, keeping at<br />
it until it gets done and continually<br />
improving<br />
Why are you part of a local<br />
church?<br />
No one thrives in isolation. For<br />
the purpose of being built, loved,<br />
protected, preserved, accountable<br />
and also to find expression for the<br />
gifts and calling of God in me.<br />
If you could preach one message<br />
with the whole world as your<br />
audience, what would the title be<br />
or what would that message be?<br />
The Good News: How Christ saved,<br />
saves and will save us<br />
What advice would you give to<br />
young Christians today?<br />
Read your bible, pray everyday<br />
yourself!!! Know God for yourself,<br />
not through anyone. That is what<br />
He has called us to, that is the way<br />
to experience the best of God.<br />
What book(s) have you gifted or<br />
recommended the most?<br />
Love and Respect by Emerson<br />
Eggerichs<br />
Is ‘living on mission’ an<br />
important part of your faith, and<br />
why?<br />
Yes it is because God commands it<br />
and it is the only way to truly live.<br />
How would you encourage others<br />
to live on mission?<br />
Become all that God has called you<br />
to be. Impact your world.<br />
What is the most worthwhile<br />
investment you’ve made or thing<br />
you’ve done with money?<br />
