Learning through Teaching, is what drives me to be involved in teaching ministry. To understand rather than to be understood in the relationship between teacher and students is what motivates me in my relation and interaction with students in the classroom and campus life. Besides, teaching in the classroom I take interest to explore, learn and equip through various exposures and interactions in various levels and to improve my ministerial engagements to higher levels and newer for ministerial participation. Passionate of team works and collegial co-ordinations, where the end result would be obviously more. .
