    "Before God saved me I had a long struggle with drugs, alcohol and the street lifestyle of the inner city. After getting in trouble with the Police my mother requested an Uncle of mine to begin talking to me about the Bible. That uncle hired me on his painting business and began to share the gospel with me. When he would share the gospel with me I began to feel the conviction of sin for the first time. I thought I was saved because I had repeated the sinner's prayer and was a baptized. 

    Now I'm married with one child and I serve on the mission field in Uganda with my wife Sarah who is a Ugandan. In Uganda, we are planting a Church, and assisting other churches with Bible teaching. We also do evangelism, food distribution to people suffering from drought and extreme poverty.

    The free ministry training has been a great blessing to my Ministry's future because it has helped to reaffirm and strengthen the foundation of sound teaching I received when I was discipled. I have greatly benefited from the teaching of Dr David Feddes in theology 1 and 2, Prayer, Church History and Apologetics. I also enjoyed Professor Henry Reyenga's classes Sermon Construction and Presentation and People Smart. I know what I have learned will help me to minister in years to come

    May God bless the staff and the Donors that help to make these class possible."
