Lionel - New Zealand

Nickname: Genesis 1:3

I was lost but now I am found, was blind but now I see...

I belonged to a motorcycle club in South Africa for about 15 years, heavy drinker, did a fair bit of stupid things. My uncle was a Christian and was actually committed for his beliefs. Because of his faith in Christ, he was called a nutcase by some family members and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for observation for a number of weeks. People assumed he was insane. It was because of him, his strength of faith, I saw the changes in his life. Although it took many years later for me to give my heart to Jesus, I believe that was when the seed was planted. I have now been a Christian for 16 years.

I emigrated to New Zealand 14 years ago, am married to a lovely Christian lady, have three boys. Photography is a life-long passion which we steped out in faith with and started our own photography business.
