I work at Grangetown Baptist Church, and have been living on Clive Street since 2002. Basically I had to come back to Cardiff to do my theological studies at doctoral level, and I felt God was calling me back.

Missionaries were sent from Wales to Ghana in the past, so it's time to bring back a little of what was given to us long ago.

I studied in Wales back in 1997, so it gave me some kind of orientation as to what to expect. Ministry here is not the same as in Africa. Over there the services are much livelier, intensive and passionate. In Wales, the culture is different so you would expect people to behave in a certain way. People here are more reserved and they are quieter. But it's the same God, it's the same bible, and it's the same faith.

To begin with I came to a Caucasian congregation and they were mainly elderly pensioners. Since I've been here, we've had a mix of people from other places like Africa and Asia come in to join us in worship, sometimes as regular visitors. We had a doctor from Taiwan and one from India. We used to have someone from Pakistan. They've all lived within this community, so it tends to be quite international.

I love it here. I love the people. I'm going to be here for the unforeseeable future. I haven't heard God say as yet that my work has come to an end.

I'm personally someone who can adapt to situations very easily. Knowing that this is where God would have me, I've got to burn my bridges behind me as it were. It's exciting, it's challenging - the fact that I'm able to bring something in to the life of the people here in Grangetown and Cardiff.
