A few minutes with Sam Poe

Sam Poe

It is such a privilege having Sam and Marlene Poe with us again at Momentum 2010 and having them stay with us. They are just an excellent couple and such precious friends. Sam and Marlene are from Tacoma, USA and will be serving in Kezi, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe until July. I caught a few minutes with Sam between sessions at Camp Momentum and this is what he said

M.M: What do you do to relax?
S.P: Fish

M.M: What is your favourite quote?
S.P: “Faith is taking the first steps up the stairs when you can’t see the top of the staircase” by Martin Luther King Jr.

M.M: What is the weirdest food you’ve eaten?
S.P: Balut in the Philippines. It’s not my favourite thing!

M.M: Who is your favourite Bible character?
S.P: Apart from Jesus, Joseph because of the grace of God’s presence in his life and how he co-operated with that. I also like his grace toward his brothers.

M.M: What is your favourite current album?
S.P: “Slow Train Coming” by Bob Dylan

M.M: What are you passionate about?
S.P: Apart from Jesus, seeing the Big Redemptive Story through Christ from start to finish

M.M: Who has influenced you recently?
S.P: Tim Keller’s book “Counterfeit Gods”

M.M: What are your thoughts on Momentum 2010?
S.P: There is a real sense of unity and enjoyment as a family of Churches. There is a strong sense of God’s presence in the meeting and everyone is having a good time.

M.M: We had such fun with you at Crossroads. What are your impressions of the Church?
S.P: I am thrilled to see the growth and influence of the Church having had the joy of seeing its inception one and a half years ago. I’m also thrilled at seeing people envisioned.

M.M: Thank you so much Sam. I really look forward to working more closely with you and Marlene in the months ahead.
