Since his baptism at the age of 16, Alvin has been involved in a variety of ministry settings (e.g. student leadership, university campus ministry and local youth ministry).
His life objective is to help a person take their next step closer to Jesus, no matter how small that step is. In particular, he has a passion to serve youth leaders and churches as they pass on the truths of God to the upcoming generation, “the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.” (Psalm 78:4b NIV)
Alvin with his wife and two children are part of the Mimico Baptist Church family.
