Embracing the Christian faith is both a profound privilege and a weighty responsibility—a chance to radiate Jesus in our daily lives. The challenge: How do we consistently embody Christ’s love? As 1 John 4:8 states, “God is love,” and our mission is to exemplify this truth.

Pondering why God chose someone as ordinary as me, I reflect on my journey with overwhelming gratitude for His transformative work. Looking to the future, I’m filled with hope, anticipating God’s destined blessings for me and my cherished family.

My life’s path led me to Brazil and New Zealand with my beloved wife, Jackie. Together, we’re convinced every Christian must inspire others to connect with God, cultivate healthy relationships, and engage in God’s mission. It’s a calling to share freely, as Matthew 10:8 reminds us.

Following Jesus’s command in Matthew 28:19–20, we’re compelled to make disciples of all nations. We find comfort in His promise to be with us always.

As Theodore Roosevelt wisely said, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” My aspiration is to enhance my abilities continually to better serve with excellence.

In summation, I declare, “God is love” (1 John 4:8). My unwavering commitment is to share this Good News throughout my life, touching the hearts of all I encounter.
