Graduation Date - July 2021
Personal Testimony
I was born
into
an
unbelieving
family. My
father had two wives and seven children. I am the next
to last. My mother died when I was two years old and
shortly thereafter he divorced his other wife.
Thankfully when I was 8 my Father remarried a Christian woman
who took me to church and helped me to go to school.
Soon a Sunday
School
teacher took the time
to explain the Gospel to me and I
believed.
This led
to
my
call
to serve the
Lord
while still very young
as I wanted to preach and evangelize
others.
I did very well in
school
ending
each year first in my
class.
I feel that God gave
me a gift for learning and teaching. I
would
often
explain things to
my
fellow students who
had trouble to understand. My Father was still not a
believer, but
two
pastors took an
interest in me, one a graduate of Shalom Seminary.
They
discipled
me and my step-mother
continued to help me advance in school. I was the first
person in my extended family to get a high school diploma and
now
I am
the first person in
my
entire
village
to get advanced education.
By God’s grace, my Father had a radical change in his life in 2015. Whereas he never used to go to a church, he now serves in the church almost every day. He is even an elder. My Father is a simple farmer who grows peanuts and beans. He is helping me to get my Seminary education. I taught for two years in a high school before coming to Seminary. I would like to be a high school chaplain after I finish. There are many young people in Congo who do not know Jesus as their personal Saviour.
