I was born into a family of six children with the same mother but different fathers. It was very hard growing up in an environment where attention and support from both parents was impossible, and I went through many kinds of abuse. Growing up was very difficult for me because I did not receive the love every child longs to receive. I believe the things I went through drove me to seek true love.
I thank God for my uncle, who led me to Christ when I was only 8 years old. From that moment, my life began to change because I realized I was not alone and that Someone truly loved and cared for me despite my weaknesses. Although the journey was not always easy, God continually rescued me, strengthened me, and proved that His grace is sufficient.
As the Bible says in John 16:33, “In this world there are tribulations, but be of good cheer because I have overcome the world.”
This verse gives me courage that even though things are hard, I will get there because my God is with me.
As Christians, the battle is very intense when your own family rejects you. I am a living testimony because even now my family continues rejecting and persecuting me because I chose to follow Christ. Even though things are like that, my focus remains on eternal life, and I continue to love them and pray for them.
Additionally, Ministry has not always been easy because, here in Africa, men are often viewed as superior to women, making it difficult for women to minister even within the church. Yet God continues to give me victory, and He is using me in a mighty way as people give their lives to Christ and are delivered from spiritual bondage. Balancing life as a wife, mother, and minister is also challenging, but God faithfully helps me each day. Through CLI, I have learned that successful ministry begins with having a strong relationship with God, obeying His will, and always being led by the Holy Spirit.
