Favorite Christian Book

"Spiritual Leadership" – in this book, Oswald Sanders describes how to build Christ's church correctly, teach others to do it, and trust in leadership.

Favorite Book in the Bible

The two Epistles to Timothy because these letters provide guidance and an example for every minister even in our time. These epistles contain much instructive content for both ministers and ordinary church members.

Motivation in Ministry

"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin."- 1 John 1:7

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."- 1 John 2:15

What inspires our labor is that we serve not people but God because with Him, we will spend all eternity. It is crucial to be a light in the world so that through our lives, someone encounters the living God, seeing the fruit of our service in the heavenly kingdom.
