I am currently still in training. However, I believe God has given me the grace to share His word through testimonies teaching people about the love of Christ, so I desire to use this grace in education to share the love of Christ through teaching.

I was born into a Christian family. I grew up in a church setting, my parents were elders in the church. As I grew older, it became evident the need to draw closer and become a worker in the church. I joined workers in training lessons, and I became a Sunday school teacher. God brought me into teaching for a purpose. God has used me in this calling to bless many. I have shared this story as a testimony several times in the house of God.

I retired from public school and knew that I wanted to go work at a Christian school. I dealt with a lot of discipline in the public school and students who did not have christian like beliefs. At a Christian school, I knew that I would be able to pray with my students and talk with them about walking in the image of God.

I have an evangelical calling and have also pastored a small parish Church of the Redeemed Christian Church of God back in Nigeria before having the opportunity to go to my first international teaching job where we started a student bible fellowship for the first time in that region of Namibia. I was also in Zanzibar, Tanzania for four years before moving to the middle east. I resigned from my job in Zanzibar without a thought of where next but God set it right for me that I got my current job even though I had applied thrice and never got feedback from the school. It happened that I was in Dubai at a job fair and the Director of the same school I had applied to thrice saw me and said I was the right candidate for his school. That’s god creating an opportunity there for me to move into the middle east.

My first call was pastoral. After 40 years at my local church, God moved my call to our local Christian school. I had served on the board for 14 years and it was a natural fit when it came to filling the superintendent vacancy. I have always had a passion for Christian education, but I did not see this role change coming. God is good!
