As an Ordained Pastor, devoted missionary, and prolific author, I am currently serving the community in Tanzania with unwavering commitment and passion. In addition to my enriching career, I am blessed with a harmonious family life, sharing my journey with my beloved wife of eight years.                                                                       Educated with a Ministry Degree, coupled with a Degree in Culinary Arts, I've found unique ways to combine my love for the gospel and the culinary arts, nourishing both body and soul. Having received my ordination as a Pastor, my mission is deeply rooted in the Word of God, guiding all my actions and interactions. My passion for education and enlightenment has found its way into my work as an author and teacher, having penned three notable books, 'The Glory Unveiled: Discovering the Power and Blessings of Glorifying God and Christ', 'Living in Two Worlds: Unraveling the Complexities of Loving a Bipolar Spouse', and 'Digital Detox: Reclaiming Your Life in the Age of Technology'. Each piece explores unique aspects of faith, mental health, and the impact of technology on our lives. Away from the pulpit and the pages of my books, I find joy and relaxation in cooking, reading, and further writing. These hobbies not only fuel my creativity but also give me a deeper appreciation of the world around me. My aspirations stretch into the future as I work towards building a church in Tanzania, spreading the Gospel of Christ, and raising up disciples to continue the divine work of spreading the Gospel. Each step I take is a testament to my faith and my commitment to serving the Lord and the people of Tanzania.
