What is your personal vision statement or life scripture?
Psalm 121:1 – I look to the mountains, where does my help come from, my help comes from the Lord, maker of Heaven and Earth.
Romans 12:1-2 – Therefore, I urge you brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – His good, pleasing and perfect will.
What excites you most about what God is doing through DCPI around the world?
“I am excited by the impact that we can have on equipping leaders to plant healthy and dynamic local congregations which are the most efficient tool for evangelism and discipleship. This is the only lasting way to battle sin and overcome its negative impacts. Consequently, individuals transformed by believing in Jesus and listening to the Holy Spirit will transform families and communities.”
What miracles have you seen God perform?
“I’ve consistently seen immediate and miraculous answers to corporate and individual prayer from healings to divine appointments when there could be no other explanation.”
