What is your role at Walk Thru the Bible?

I am an otLIVE and ntLIVE instructor **, an instructor trainer (ie training others to be instructors) and an equipper (encouraging and walking alongside the Walk Thru the Bible instructors). My role makes a difference because I get to equip and encourage others with tools and skills – all with the end goal of getting more people into God’s Word.

How does this role fit with your unique gifts and talents?

Bringing the Bible to life in creative ways is one of my strengths, this goes hand in hand with how both otLIVE and ntLIVE help unpack the bigger picture of the Old and New Testament in exciting and engaging ways. I recently took a Clifton Strength test and my top five strengths are Developer, Belief, Connectedness, Relator and Harmony. I believe that these will be of great help as I grow in my role at Walk Thru. It is a joy to be involved in equipping others and seeing them grow.

Walk Thru the Bible’s vision of igniting a passion for God’s Word also fits with my personal life mission of providing an environment where people are able to meet with God through His word. It is a great privilege to part of this team.

What I love about otLIVE and ntLIVE

I love that these Live Events help people see the big picture of the Bible and how, they personally, fit into God’s story. People these days often don’t know where they belong. Often, once you know the big picture, it’s easier to discover God for yourself. As I teach otLIVE and ntLIVE to children, I see them identifying with the characters in the stories – for example Joseph and the detours that his life took and the choice that he made to forgive. This is so important for our next generation, as they think about the kind of men and women that they want to be.

How did you come to know Christ as Saviour?

I came to know Christ when I was 12 years old through my Sunday school teacher, but I went astray as a teenager. At age 18 I re-committed my life to Christ, and I am still growing as a Christian today.

Let me tell you about my family…

My wife, Charmaine, and I have been married for 19 years, by God’s grace. We have been blessed with three children, two boys and a girl. We are all each other’s ministry – meaning we get to serve each other at home, so that we can go and also serve others.

A fun fact about me

I love playing volleyball! Hoping to get an opportunity to play very soon.
