Lucky shares an inspiring story of faith that began at age 10 when he attended a crusade held right in his neighborhood and surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. That childhood encounter set the trajectory for a life dedicated to global mission work and spiritual growth. As a missionary whose calling involves moving from place to place, Lucky has cultivated a deep passion for raising the next generation.
Through his youth network, he mentors young leaders to find God early, navigate the challenges of growing up, and build lives that honor Christ in every sphere whether in ministry, education, or the marketplace. Lucky reflects on his personal motto that success has no bus stop and growth has no arrival point, reminding us that the more we know God, the deeper our hunger for Him should become.
