Hi, Good afternoon .
My family and I were Pentecost Christians when I started secondary school my dad took me to Seventh day school in 1990 three years later in 1993 I decided to be baptised at a seventh day adventist church until now and forever in my life . So english is my second language .In Africa i worked with kids for one year, in 2007 I became a deaconess and in 2008 when people voted for leaders in our church again I was a Dorcas reader for the 15 women in Zambia . So even though my English is not that good I would like to work as an evangelist women to share and tell people how good God is. With it without an interpreter I know that I can help. Thank you
