Joshua Okoye
Fort Worth
Summary
Saved by God's grace at age fourteen while studying John 3, I came to understand what it truly means to be born again through faith in Christ. Since then, the Lord has grown in me a deep love for His Word and a calling to preach, teach, and make disciples. Through years of youth and college ministry, I've developed a heart for evangelism, apologetics, and bridging cultural and intellectual barriers so that all people may see the truth and beauty of the Gospel. My desire is to glorify Christ by faithfully proclaiming His Word and equipping believers to live out their faith with boldness and compassion.
