Personal Stories

In 2012, my husband and I were listening to Pastor Prince’s CD album, Unveiling Jesus, in our car on the way to work. In that CD, Pastor Prince had said that there was someone listening to his sermon who was believing the Lord for a baby.

I would like to share two testimonies regarding my two daughters. The first is in relation to my twenty-year-old daughter, Genesis. After a year of seeking our Father’s will with regard to what she should do after graduating from high school, we all had peace with her entering the Air Force.

I have been a Christian for years and have been serving the Lord for more than a decade now. In 2013, I slipped into depression because I suddenly began fearing for my future. I also started having anxiety attacks that were a result of toxic relationships.

Just over two years ago, I became unemployed and left with no place to stay. I was also rejected by my family because all the money and luxuries I had were gone. My son and I ended up living in a village with a family in which only one person was employed as a domestic worker in a nearby town. This person made only $70 a month to feed seven people. Our living conditions were a far cry from what we were used to.

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

I was raised in a family where from a young age, we were told that when we sin, we would suffer retribution. Our family was not at peace and my parents would quarrel almost every week. The fights would often escalate and involve threats of violence from both parties. As a child, I was traumatised.
