Japhet is a Nigerian who developed a deep passion for the elderly and the indigent in the community dated as far back to his early years where he will never pass by an elder carrying a load on his or her head or doing chores, he will always extend a helping hand. He will always volunteers to weed their surroundings. As a young adult in the university, countless times he has given out his meager pocket money to others in the school who are not as privileged as him because he believes that when all is said and done, no matter what you have achieved, the quality of your life will come down to the quality of your contribution. Japhet is currently a Pastor and as a Pastor, he was greatly inspired by the teachings of Jesus Christ in Matt 25:40 ” in as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” He believes that if you can not serve the needs of others you are a ‘hypocrite’ because serving the needs of others is serving God. In furtherance of his passion, he has always sought out organizations that share in his vision apart from the Church where he has served in various welfare committees, Passionate fortress Foundation is one of such bodies whose Vision and mission encapsulates his passion.
