I Don’t Walk Alone:
A Journey of Purpose
At the age of 32, I embraced my faith in Christ and embarked on a transformative journey within a local church. Over the span of 21 years, I devoted my service—15 of those years particularly to children’s ministry through the Awana program, which holds a significant place in my heart. This period was profoundly enriching, characterized by deep commitment, immense joy, and substantial personal growth. I created countless cherished memories with the children and their families, fostering a nurturing environment filled with love and support. Yet, amidst these rewarding experiences, I found myself facing burnout. I distanced myself, firmly believing that I merely needed a brief respite to revitalize. However, that rest swiftly gave way to an extended silence, prompting a time of reflection and uncertainty.
On May 5, 2023, my life took a dramatic turn when I received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. While it was still in its nascent stages, the gravity of this diagnosis weighed heavily on both my heart and mind. The ensuing year became a struggle—not only physically, as I contended with fatigue and discomfort, but also spiritually and emotionally, as I grappled with an inner conflict within my soul. I engaged with profound inquiries regarding my future, my strength, and the fundamental nature of my purpose, leaving me in a continual state of introspection.
By December 2024, I reached a pivotal moment that felt like an unavoidable breaking point. Overwhelmed and weary, I turned to God, relinquishing all that I had clung to. I admitted my exhaustion and profound uncertainty in navigating the challenges I faced. In that poignant moment of surrender, amidst the stillness following my emotional release, I felt Him speak once more: “I’ve been waiting for you to give up and allow Me to start a significant work through you. This is your time. This is the work I’ve selected for you.” His words resonated within me, instilling a flicker of hope within the turmoil.
It was then that I Don’t Walk Alone emerge, an initiative that grew from my challenges, symbolizing the strength we discover in community and faith. It serves as a reminder that while our journeys may present obstacles, we are never truly alone in our endeavors through life.

His ministry vision is to teach and share the gospel of Jesus Christ faithfully, and to train and equip others to do the same. He believes that every believer is called to grow in God's word and live it out in daily life. A significant part of my calling is also to serve the poor and needy, those who are not only struggling physically, but also spiritually, reminding them that they are not alone.
He desires to be a servant-leader who brings the light of Christ to dark places, uplift the brokenhearted, and strengthen the Church by making disciples who will continue the mission of Christ in their own communities and beyond.
