My faith is an important part of my life and over the years I've learnt that it takes a proud man to say he doesn't need anything. It has been a quiet strength and a backbone through a lot of difficult times.

Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith about being held about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.
