He is totally committed in bringing the Good News with the goal of changing the world “ONE PERSON AT A TIME”.

 The ministry is based on ACTS 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem , and in all Judea and Samaria , and to the ends of the earth.”
