Sein Wirken zeichnet sich durch die Verbindung von pfingstlich-evangelikalem Glauben mit gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung und Antikorruptionsarbeit aus, wobei theologische Vorwürfe über eine Nähe zur New Apostolic Reformation 2025 von der Weltweiten Evangelischen Allianz zurückgewiesen wurden. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem durch Impulse zu ethischer Leiterschaft, christlicher Einheit und den Perspektiven der weltweiten Kirche.
