蜜桃视频 helped me get what I wanted out of life 鈥 and that was to not waste it! 听Because of the lessons I learned and the skills I developed at CIU, God was able to 鈥渄raw鈥 me into the ministry.听听听听
As a sophomore in college, I began to incorporate my passion for preaching with my love for drawing. What began as part of a required outreach is now called Chalk Art Ministry, and was birthed and fanned into flame at CIU. Now I give 鈥渃halk talks鈥 in the churches, prisons, and schools of South Africa. Drawing while I鈥檓 speaking grabs the listeners鈥 attention and illustrates powerful spiritual truths; it also aids the audience in remembering what was taught.听
South African public schools, among the most dangerous in the world, are filled with chaos and violence. Yet God continues to open doors for me to preach using chalk art. He is using me to preach 鈥渢he uncompromised gospel,鈥 as one principal put it, and lives are being radically transformed by it. I have seen suicidal students realize that life has meaning and purpose because of Christ. Broken families have been restored by the power of forgiveness. But most importantly, children and adults have been brought from death to life by God鈥檚 gracious work in their hearts.
CIU prepared me for the thrilling ministry opportunities God has given me over the past 40 years 鈥 it鈥檚 been anything but a waste!
