I have a great passion for ministering with both excellence and compassion that reflect God’s glory and His grace. Right now, that passion is guided by Ephesians 4:10-12, “It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.”
