My heart's toward youth ministry, but I don't know. I never would have thought I would have written a book. And God kind of directed that. So we'll see what the next is.

I reached a point where - I have a real heart and concern for families and for youth, and the more I became involved in working through a ministry, the more I realized how powerful the entertainment industry was and how irresponsible it was.

You see the transformation that the arts have on young people. It changes their lives for the better. That's where my engagement is.

I'm very, very involved in charities involving youth.

I had never really pictured myself working in children's ministries. I always figured I would be more comfortable with maybe teens or adult ministries.

From my early school days, I was brought up with the belief that we have a duty to use our talents, to volunteer and to make a contribution.

I believe strongly in the power of arts education to engage and empower young people.

One of my dreams in life is to do fund-raising for the youth.

I see everything I do as an extension of the ministry. It's all about service.

I created a successful outdoor youth festival - the Liverd festival - against all good advice. It was a great way to explore and investigate social sculptures. Having that as my kind of studio, outside of a museum or precious white-cube gallery, that was a kind of education.
