Personal Stories

Pastor Prince, my daughter made plans with two of her female friends from church to travel throughout Europe and Greece in July 2016. Even though our family and friends had concerns about her traveling in a time of global unrest and violence, my husband and I felt peace from the Lord and did not object to her plans.

I was disowned by my dad when I was five years old. This caused me to grow up with a void in my heart. I was convinced that something I did had caused my dad to not want or love me.

On Friday, I was driving home from work when I tuned in to Pastor Prince’s sermon “Live the Let-Go Life” on YouTube. It was a rhema word for me, the right message at the right time.

Pastor Prince, I’m a twenty-three-year-old university student who grew up in a Christian family, attended church, and went to a Christian college. However, I made choices in life that greatly delayed my studies, career, relationships, and spiritual growth.

Earlier this year, I had been told by my supervisor that the company had to let me go because the firm was struggling amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. They needed to cut costs and unfortunately that involved the removal of my role. Just like that, I was let go the following day.

I came across Joseph Prince’s website when I was jobless. I searched randomly for testimonies of people who had gotten jobs miraculously and an encouraging praise report came up.

I was working for a chrome production company as a plater and welder artisan. One day while doing maintenance on the furnace system, we had to do repairs on a pipe. We removed one section of the pipe for modification and placed it about 6 meters away from the main pipe we were working on.

Pastor Prince, I was introduced to your book, Unmerited Favor, by my good friend. After reading the introduction from a copy I’d borrowed from my local library, I realized it contains revelations on Jesus that were missing in my spiritual walk.

For some time now, I was in credit card debt and had no savings. I never seemed to get ahead because there was always something that needed fixing in my house or car.

I am in Houston, Texas, writing this praise report as I prepare to return to Lakewood Church to hear you speak in person for the second time. I thank Jesus for bringing you to the United States.

I was born into a Christian family but had no interest or love for the Lord. At the age of ten, while studying overseas with my sister, I developed a passion for football. I wanted to pursue it as a profession and was determined to fulfill my dream as a football player.

I just want to say thank you for what the Lord is doing through your ministry. When I came across your broadcast almost two years ago, I was at the end of myself and as you’ve said, I was both “wandering” and “wondering” what happened to my relationship with the Lord.
