“Our house was always full of church, the bible and people.”

“Life was faith and faith was life.”

“As a young Christian, this was life, true life, if the gospel was true, which I believe it is, then He demanded my whole life.”

“I have a real heart for discipling women.” 

“In practical terms, we should always be looking out for someone to disciple.”

“Sometimes God is more interested in our holiness than our happiness.”

“Often there are gaps between what we say we believe and what we do. A ministry supervisor can help fill the gaps.”

“Some of our children by be like dandelions - they can grow anywhere, while others are like orchids - they need a little more care.”

One of my favourite sayings is “I can only do what I can only do. The rest goes to the keeper and that’s God!”

“We do life with and for others.”
