What's the best thing about being a Christian?
Being able to say, no matter how I'm feeling or how miserable a day it is, that I am loved by the Creator of the universe, that His fingerprint is on me. I did not slip into being but He created me for such a time as this and I can trust fully that He will never leave me or forsake me. Now that's cool!
What's your favorite thing about working for Pure?
I've always wanted to work with young people, caring about every area of their lives and being able to speak truth and life to them. It's always been a dream of mine to use experiences that I have been through to help others, and now I'm able to.
What's the best place you've visited?
That's a hard one! Climbing through the pass of 'Mount Doom' on the north island of New Zealand was pretty amazing but so was snorkling in the Great Barrier Reef. However I love our own english coasts down in Cornwall, sitting on a cliff top in Whitsands Bay watching the sunset...
