Dear Church,
My personal mission statement and life ambition can be summed up in one sentence; “To be the spark that ignites Christ within others”. I am a natural leader who is young vibrant, goofy, yet mature, level headed and very experienced in the ministry. I have led, have been apart of and facilitated over 80 short-term missions to Canada, the U.S. Nicaragua, Peru, Panama, and all over Mexico to serve both the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich. I have worked with people from all walks of life from wealthy business owners to lower income families as well as natives from the deepest parts of the jungle.
My passion is to build up and empower teams, whether it be small groups, youth groups, worship bands recruiting or outreach teams. I very much focus on the people and helping them create life altering programs and events that bring glory to Jesus.
As a hobby through out the years I have put together bands/worship bands, set up venues and often sing, write and MC.
If any of these passions and skill sets fit what your ministry needs and wants I would love to be a part of it.
Much Respect
Nick Kulhawy
