Some stories begin on stages. Mine began in survival.
I grew up moving from home to home after losing both of my parents at a young age. What started as pain and uncertainty slowly became the place where God was shaping my heart. From Western Province to Livingstone, every place I stayed taught me something about people, community, and hope. I never imagined that the same boy who once struggled to find stability would one day help young people discover purpose and belonging.
At 14 years old, everything changed when I met missionaries from YWAM. Watching people travel across the world just to serve others and share the Gospel awakened something in me. I started leading, helping teams, and serving wherever I could. Years later, that passion led me to a mission base along the Zambezi River, where I used photography and media to tell stories of transformation. But somewhere along the way, I realized God was calling me to do more than simply capture moments behind a camera. He was calling me to disciple people face to face.
Since then, my life has been centered around young people. From youth camps and school ministry to tutoring, mentoring, and outreach programs, I’ve seen firsthand how one conversation, one safe space, or one encounter with God can completely change a life. Many young people today are searching for identity, direction, and hope, and I believe missions is not only about preaching  it’s about walking with people, listening to their stories, and helping them encounter Jesus in real and practical ways.
Today, I serve with YWAM Mkushi at Beulah Training Center, helping train and disciple the next generation of missionaries while also documenting the stories God is writing through DTS outreaches and ministry. This July, I’ll be returning to continue serving, and I’m inviting people to partner with me in this mission. Whether through prayer, encouragement, or monthly financial support, you become part of every life impacted, every story told, and every young person reached with the Gospel. My journey may have started with loss, but God is now using it to bring hope to others and I believe this is only the beginning.
