Why do you want to join the Board?

• Honestly, I was asked by pastor Kyle if I would like to try the deacon training because somebody nominated me. I keep asking myself who would nominate me and why. My wife told me that someone saw something in me, and to stop asking why, because if it is to happen, then it's the Lord's will. I prayed about it a lot, so I decided to give it my best. So, I will put forth my best effort and ask for the Lord's guidance.
