From the Bible, Patrick learned two major lessons: he himself had value, and everyone else has value as well. This important lesson, which he attributed to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, motivated him to share the Gospel and serve others for God’s Glory. 

He implored the importance of the fruits of the Spirit as enumerated in Galatians 5: 22-23. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”
