Nkaiseng, 25, Mafeteng, Lesotho: My desire is to be at service for my soon coming Lord. The world is faced with an AIDS pandemic; people die without hope every minute. The Lord has placed me in a position where I can minister to these dying people while still caring for them, so what I earnestly pray for is for the Lord to use me while I still have chance and to point these people to the Lamb of God who says “come let us reason together” for I have keys even of the grave. This people should know that even dying from AIDS, but with the Lord is a blessing because He will one day come to raise just you and me from our graves.

Antonio, 24, Malampa, Vanuatu: Honestly speaking, my dream for the future is that Jesus should return soon. This might sound very old-fashioned for someone living in this modern world, a world on technology and what not. But spending my past 24 years living in sin, strife, insecurity and fear, it’s causing me to pray every night and ask Jesus to come back quickly. Yet again, it’s not my will but His. I love Him and want to see Him come sooner, then later. I feel prepared to meet Him.

Sometimes I would like to be like Hus, Luther, Zwingli, Kalvin, Komensky, Wolf, Miller or E.G White to do something really big for God.

Life is short and I don’t have time to waste on earthly benefits, soon Christ shall come for me.

I would like to sing songs which will touch people’s hearts and bring them closer to the throne of God than they had ever dreamt. Moreover, I have already started composing some. I know they are not the best, but no one starts as a star. One day they shall be amongst the best.
