Why is NCM's ministry important?

I believe what NCM is doing is important because most believers in Rwanda have a very shallow understanding of the Bible and what it means to be a Christian, even a lot of the pastors. What NCM does is helps get these church leaders firmly grounded in what it really means to be a Christian, and what God wants the church to be.  They in turn help their congregations grow to a deeper walk with the Lord, which has a impact on the culture here.

How did you come to know Jesus?

I had the great privilege of being born in a Christian home.  I accepted Christ as my savior when I was 8 years old and then had the blessing of being in a great church that helped me grow in my relationship with Christ.

What is one of your wildest dreams? 

My wildest dream is that I would be able to visit Australia some day with my family.
