  • Comment to those looking at my sermons: Hello! I always preach from my heart. If it does not excite me, I do not expect my sermons to excite others. ’Comfort Ye, My people’ is the mission I have received from the Lord. I am aspiring to be obedient. You can write to me and tell me if these messages are comforting or not. I would love to hear from you.
  • Sermon or series that made a difference: "Developing An Apostolic Church," a ground breaking series of messages that God gave me from the book of Acts. It helped me to come out a single culture focus give up denominational leadership positions and start Gateway where ten different nationalities come together to worship and we expect many more nationalities to join.
