Early Life and Calling to Evangelism
I was born in Guyana, South America, number seven of eleven siblings. I like to say’ I grew up in church’, and was born again at an early age. But there came a time when I worried why God didn’t arrange an easier world. But the day happened when I eventually came to grips with the true meaning of love. God’s agape love. His is the “just don’t make sense” kind of love that allows us hard headed humankind the unbelievable freedom to choose whether or not to love Him back! God helping, I’m getting the hang of better sharing about His Amazing love
My zeal for lifestyle evangelism grew by realizing Jesus’ “after hours” advice to Nicodemus should be a lifestyle strategy. Learning to share with people who are clueless about the phantabularious advantage of being born again! It’s all about lifestyle. John 10:10 serves it in a sweet way, quoting Lord Jesus “The thief comes to kill and destroy. I came so you may have life, and have it to the max! So the workbook is titled “Lifestyle evangelism: How to Save a Life in Three Easy Steps”. Now, ‘Course we can’t save a life... Only God does the saving. But again, He gave us the freedom to choose. To be born again we have to make a deliberate choice to rebel from Satan, our evil slave master – and remorsefully ask to be reunited with God – Lord Jesus Christ.
"When someone takes the time to fully grasp the Awesome of God, not only are they relieved to finally discover their best life, not surprisingly they become equally determined to help others “wake up” to the unimaginable goodness of God."
