I have already devoted much of my life to work and aquaring wisdom, knowledge and understanding. I was born in Sao Tome and Principe. I did emigrate together with my parents to Angola from 1972 to 1977. I finished primary school in 1974. From 1984 to 1987, I did compulsory military service in my country of origin. In 1988, I finished secondary school. Even before I finished secondary school, in 1982, I started teaching students who had finished elementary school. In 1990, I started teaching High School students. I taught Portuguese to Peace Corps volunteers in Guinea Bissau in the summer of 1990 and only stopped teaching in 1994 when I decided to accept the call to be minister of the gospel. I have held administrative positions at various hierarchical levels in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and have worked as a translator and interpreter of Portuguese, French, Spanish and English. I am currently studying at Andrews University for my Masters program.
When it comes to photography, I like to photograph landscapes, such as water-falls, contemplating variate of birds and animals that inhabit the forest and collect photographs of medieval architecture.
Sport fishing is a hobby that has accompanied me throughout my life. I like fishing. I like fishing, but not in a boat or canoe. I prefer to sit back and, rod in hand, fish for a couple of hours.
Traveling and talking about spirituality is an expensive hobby, but I enjoy getting to know new people in order to help those who need me most.
