Personal Stories

After my graduation in 2014, I was given an opportunity to work as a trainee in a logistics company. After a year, I was offered a permanent post.

I grew up in a legalistic environment. We were taught to ask for God’s forgiveness each time we sinned to avoid going to hell. We were also taught that we could lose our salvation and that kept us sin-conscious.

My wife had contemplated suicide because I kept failing to keep the promises I made to her. It seemed like the more I struggled to do things right, the more I ended up doing those things wrong.

I was working as an executive assistant to the general manager with a renowned semi-government company. Everything was working fine for me in the organization until I was pregnant with my second child.

In my final year of high school, I was left to choose between two different courses offered by two different universities. It was a difficult decision, made worse by my relatively young age and inexperience.

I am 46 years old and had suffered from major depression throughout my entire life. It intensified in my late 30s.

I had always wondered what freedom looked like, so I tried searching for it in many places but could never find it.

For quite some time, I had stopped reading the book, Unmerited Favor. But recently, I picked up the book again. I continued from where I left off and it happened to be where Pastor Prince wrote about how David defeated Goliath.

During my secondary school days, I was extremely notorious and caused many problems to my peers, school and family. I was also involved in gangs and vile activities that harmed both my body and the people who cared about me.

Growing up, my son, Zachary, had delayed speech, was violent, would zone out for hours on end, and do just one thing all day. Sometimes, he was also uncooperative. Feeding time could not be delayed—if we were late by even just five minutes, he would just move on to play and there would be no getting him back to the table for the meal.
