To be a man after God's own heart. Then to lead, labour, inspire and encourage others to be the same
Occasionally God interrupts my morning quiet time routine. These are exciting times and more often than not, I love to engage with Him in this.

ROLES: The most significant role Jesus played, at least for me, was that of a teacher. Throughout the gospel Jesus assumed the role of a teacher and taught, using parables, questions and resorting to Old Testament Scripture to defend Himself, illustrate ideas and challenge listeners.

This year we’re looking at Personal development and growth Old Testament Evangelim Church History We have a load of assignments set, and some reading…
And I have a lot of catching up to do…There is a lot I want to write about, a lot of things have been being processed in my mind. A lot of good stimuli, and not a lot of time to put them into blog form. So I’ve got an hour or so to clear…
