Q: How did you come to know the Lord?
A: I was blessed to have a mother and father who loved the Lord. I can’t remember when I was not taught Bible verses. … I was carried to Sunday School and church. Then when I was 11 years old, I accepted Him. It was because of the rearing of my mother and father.
Q: How did you become involved in ministry?
A: I have to go back to my mother. She taught me by example to minister.
Q: What were some of ministry’s most rewarding aspects?
A: Getting to know people, to share the Lord and for them to share the Lord with me.
Q: How did your family members support you?
A: They have supported me when I would be away from home. [They also have supported me] with their labor and with their prayers.
Q: What difference has Christ made in your life?
A: I couldn’t make it without Him. It’s because of His grace that I’m able to live every day.
