Completing my studies at Grace will be foundational for fulfilling my aspiration to become an effective Minister of the Gospel of Jesus. In almost six years of working in Qatar, God has shown me a brighter perspective in my life and in the lives of my family. We are now serving the Lord by functioning as elders or ministers of our local church (The Great Commission Christian Church) and making our house available to all believers of Christ and to all church activities, i.e. fellowship services, Bible study. With the input of competent instructors and staff, Grace has helped me to realize my dream and make it a reality.
All throughout my teenage years, I had the desire to serve God and be a blessing to others. I now believe God has given me the heart and conviction to study and learn the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, an effort which I started in 2012 and continue up to this day.
I discovered Grace while browsing my Facebook account. The word ‘grace’ really captured my attention. I began to inquire about the seminary and found the staff to be very helpful. They demonstrated grace through their actions. I then decided to enroll. I believed that the Lord chose Grace School of Theology for me.
I desired to study God’s Word in a systematic way as taught by instructors who I considered to be scholars. In this way, I was confident that I would be on the right track in learning more about our Lord in a structured manner.
Similarly, my desire is to share whatever knowledge and wisdom I acquire with all my brethren in our local church in order to bring glory to our Lord.
My goal is to impart to the nations all the knowledge gained from completing my studies here at Grace. Proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a wholehearted and systematic manner would also be an effective tool in touching and changing lives through the power of the Gospel of Christ.
