"I once separated myself for a time of seeking God, asking, 'What is my purpose, Father?' He revealed to me, 'Your purpose, the purpose for which I birthed you, is to share My Son with My people. To take advantage of every opportunity I place before you whether it be film, print, personal appearance... and give My people Jesus."
