My personal story

I grew up in a non-Christian home and my parents passed away when I was very young. The Devil had plans to totally wipe me up like he did to my parents but God had good plans for me. At the age of 8 I was taken to a primary school built and managed by the Anglican Church. What I liked most in this school were the Bible stories read to our class every Friday morning. I was always fascinated by the power of God shown in the Bible stories like that of Moses and the miracles he performed in Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Jesus feeding the 5,000, and many others. I did not know that God was planting a seed within my soul that germinated when I grew up. This early training led me to receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior  at 25 years of age. After my salvation, God assigned me the ministry of writing for His Kingdom.
