What do you like about this subject?  I am fascinated with the subject, I love to talk about God, his Word and his Kingdom! I also love to help people, especially those in trouble. Jesus loves you!
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  My goal is to bring as many people as possible to the saving grace of Jesus Christ, this is'nt about me, it is about him, I'm simply here to forward his Kingdom!
