What's your favourite thing about pure?
I love working with the young people, talking to them about the issues and problems they face and encouraging them to see the potential each one of them has. I enjoy hearing the dreams and aspirations of young people and encouraging and empowering them in the pursuit of them.
What's the best thing about being a Christian?
Knowing that I have a father who has an amazing plan for my life, that I can go to him whatever the situation and that he is faithful in every circumstance. That nothing is impossible with him!
What's your favourite memory?
The trips that I have had to East Africa have created some of my favourite memories, including: working with young people in Kibera, travelling through Kenya and Tanzania and going on Safari.
