Hi, my name is Moses from Nigeria, and I live in Belarus. Currently, I help a startup with brand design and identity. I also brew coffee in a local coffee shop. I do strongly believe in the mission of Revive Europe to students and young adults in general because I got to know Jesus through a similar ministry, and knowing Jesus at a crucial moment in my life changed the course of my entire life. I want more young people to know the good news, and stay on fire for Jesus. My hobbies are dancing (it is almost as important to me as oxygen at this point), listening to good music, snowboarding, and just having a good time with my friends. Fun Facts: Literally a few days ago, I tried archery and I am now a big fan of it. Also, I have 6 names (I didn't come up with any of them, and yes, they are real names 😄), and everyone in my family calls me using different names. Sometimes I can't seem to remember all the names.
