Why I chose Wesley: I was called to Ministry in 2011; as I got baptized, I decided to devote my life to Christ by ministering to God's people. I faced challenges in discovering my area of Ministry; in my University, as I was doing my Bachelor of Divinity, I started understanding Pastoral Ministry is what I am called to, but I needed to know more about ways to minister in this area of church leadership. Wesley is a place where I found tools, Biblical scholars, teachers, preachers and other colleagues who have been in Ministry to help me grow and be equipped for Ministry of the Word, Preaching, teaching, spiritual counselling, evangelizing, visiting, building character, and other services of the church as a Pastor.
What people don’t know about me: I am an introvert; I love playing the guitar, singing, listening to music, biking and doing some exercises. Sometimes I take time to cook and enjoy my delicious food. Being in the church praying or just staying is a beautiful thing I like to do because of the great memories I find once I am in a place like a church. I love making friends and moving around with those who like to talk; although I don't talk much, being with those who talk makes me feel better. Being part of the Admissions team is a privilege supporting your journey at Wesley.
