About Me:
An excerpt from my testimony as written from an interview my friend did on me:
When I was 14 years old, a friend invited me to a Christmas party. I had no idea it was an evangelistic event until we were an hour in. The pastor was speaking about the death of Christ and its significance. It was only then that I realized I was actually sitting in a sermon. At first I thought, “Shoot, I’m trapped.”, but since I was already there, I listened as the pastor preached about the essence of Christmas.

01 Why?
"Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do. Whatever else you get get insight."
Proverbs 4:7 (MSG)
.Soon after completing my BSc in International Business, I felt the desire to do my masters
(There were two different academic scope that i was considering. (Click on the images below for information
Having researched on both subjects and asking for counsel as to which i should choose, almost everyone told me the same thing.
PRAY!
​
During the weeks leading up to my decision, i came to a realization.
Any course I choose, I can still glorify Him.
Any course I choose, I have interest in.
Any course I choose, its an online & self-studying course.
​
The ONE thing that i then realised was that while my interest may have leaned more towards SOAS, my PASSION was to know Him more than any other knowledge that i could acquire.
​
My Decision?
To get a a theology based degree
The next step would be which Seminary would accept my application.
​
The only obstacle that remains from me pursuing this course would be the need to finance the course. While I have faith that God will provide, I would have to take steps to achieve it beyond just praying about it.
Faith without action is dead!
"... Faith and works, works and faith, fit together hands in glove."
James 2:18 (MSG)

"... may the LORD reward you for your kindness..."
Ruth 1:8 (NLT)
Excess amount?
I would be more than blessed should i reach the required cost of the Theology Degree. However, it does not stop here. The next issue would be what i would do with any excess amount.
"... Great gifts mean great responsibilities; Greater gifts, greater responsibilities."
Luke 12:48 (MSG)
My dream, beyond completing a Master degree, is to start a non-profit organisation focused on humanitarian aid. I turn on the news everyday to see new natural disasters happening around the world and every single time, i felt a tugging i my heart to do something about it. There's many reason that stopped me; flights, taking leaves from work, finding friends to drop everything and head to wherever. Should there be any excess, i would want to use that excess to kick start this dream. This would allow me to fly the flag of Christ beyond just salvation missions. To find out in more details/specific of this dream, do contact me by filling up the form below or contact me through any of the social media that I've linked below.
