Q How would you define
worship:
Matthew 22:37 reads “Love the Lord God A with all your heart and with all
your soul and with your entire mind. I believe that worship is living this scripture on a daily basis. Loving God is a daily activity, not just something we do when we get to church over the weekend. Loving God can be shown through spending time with Him, knowing Him through the Word as well as through song, loving all God’s people, loving our local church, etc. This love in all its different forms is worship.
Q Last album you purchased: A ‘Hello Fear’ by Kirk Franklin &
Q What do you do five minutes
Q Best piece of advice you
‘Something Big’ by Mary Mary
have ever received:
A
I was born in South Africa during the apartheid era. In 1997, for the first time in South African history, black kids were allowed to attend the same schools as white kids. On my first day of school my grandmother said, “God made you in His image and likeness and thought you were the most beautiful and precious being He’d ever created. Never ever let anyone make you think, believe or feel otherwise. Who you are transcends your gender and skin colour. Before you are a girl and before you are a black girl; you are God’s daughter – and that matters more than anything.”
before you go on stage:
As a team we pray together backstage A and as we get on the stage I repeat “for your glory Lord”.
Q How do you stay sharp: With regards to my music, I A purposely sing every day for an hour.
I am continuously listening to people with great vocal ranges and I refuse to believe that I can’t sing something without trying it. With regards to my spiritual walk, I am because He is. I invest a lot of time studying the Word, reading faith based books and listening to podcast sermons from my favourite preachers on my way to and from work.
Q One encouragement to people who are interested in joining the Creative team:
CM is an incredible place for you to A discover and cultivate the gift God has
given you for His glory.
