Certainly, leaving my country of origin in 1989 to study for my Master's degree in Civil Engineering, in Vancouver, B. C., Canada, with a scholarship from the University of British Columbia, was a major milestone in my life. This was totally an act of God. Without the scholarship I could not have set foot in Vancouver, B.C., let alone studied there. My desire was to get a Ph.D. before returning home. But later, I learned from Paul's life that, while my desire was wrong, my destination was right. God would call me from Vancouver, B.C. into the ministry. This leads me to the next major milestone in my life, that is, receiving God's call to leave my pursuit of civil engineering career into full-time ministry. In August of 1993, after two years of resisting God's call, I left Beautiful British Columbia to attend Western Conservative Baptist Seminary, in Portland, OR. This move was not only adventurous, but also challenging, character-building, faith-building, and fulfilling, leading me into the path of becoming a preacher and teacher of the Word of God. The irony is that, I had never thought or planned to be a preacher or teacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was not even on my list of career choices. Another major milestone in my life was being sent twice to Beirut, Lebanon by God to do evangelistic ministry and equipping of believers among several churches which were made of African and Lebanese believers. My first visit was in June 1995, while I was still in Seminary and my second visit was in November, 1996, a few months after my graduation from Seminary. Other major milestones in my life include founding a fellowship of believers from the States, Asia and Russia, which I shepherded for three years, and being called to serve now as a pastor in a local church.
