Convinced of God’s plan for every person’s life, my journey to unlock and empower leaders began. Thousands of leaders waited on the other side of my obedience. I could never have dreamt what God would do when He unlocked my life and the lives of others. Do you want your life to unlock? Unlock to understand God’s supernatural provision, unlock to discover God’s heavenly abode. Unlock to see God’s miracles signs and wonders In the unlocking of God’s plan for my life, I became a tourist. No fixed abode, no place to call home, living out of bags, travelling all the time, no income to depend upon, only God’s provision. What does it mean? Just do it! This became my story to just do it! Whatever God said, do it! For every branch of the tourism venture, there was a battle. Every step required a victory. Journeys on the world’s worst roads, travelling on the world’s worst train, closely knit with beggars, thieves, and prostitutes, but firmly in the hand of God and His protection. Baptisms in green slime, deliverance for thousands, secret conferences. Being a nomad requires action, effort, a plan, a purpose, a vision; moving from one venture to another, from one adventure to another, from nation to nation to see God move. Empowering and strengthening leaders throughout the third world, training, releasing, mentoring leaders became my life. This is my story unlocked.
