Cyprian Joseph is a true man of God, who serves with integrity and christian character.  His commitment is to follow God, stay humble, and do as God directs and commands him to do. His loyalty and total commitment to God is the foundation on which he stands. He loves the Lord and desires God to get the glory, the honor and the praise out of whatever he does for Him.
