I have been a youthworker for a few years in Pap and always wanted to be involved with the highschool cos that’s where young people are during the week..so when the door opened up it was the next step.
What would be your greatest advice?
Be faithful with what has been put in your hands, even if it’s small and then you will be entrusted with larger things!
