Daniel

Intern

Daniel was born in Nigeria and raised in the Muslim tradition. To pronounce Daniel's last name, think "allowin' me."  In Daniel's teen years, he found an undeserved love from the lord Jesus Christ, who loves all people so much and gave his own life for all. Jesus allows us to enjoy evaluating life. That love drew Daniel to Christianity and was at the heart of his decision to convert and follow Jesus. GRCC is Daniel's home church and part of his family. He has now become a Ministerial Intern to officially follow his calling from God and improve his knowledge of  the word of God and as a preacher. To quote Daniel, "IT HAS BEEN A GREAT TIME  WITH MY GENDER ROAD FAMILY CHURCH. SHALOM."
