You are the New Believers pastor. Why do you enjoy this ministry?
It is something I wanted to do from just after the time I was saved. There was nothing for new believers, and I seem to have a heart for those who had just come to the Lord. So when I came to emmanuel I was given the opportunity to minister to new believers – over 50 in three years.
