DELIVERANCE When I came to the UCKG Help Centre, I was shown that there was a chance – as small as it may be – that my life could change. People were so welcoming and understanding, I couldn’t believe it was real. The spiritual advisers encouraged me to attend the Friday meetings for my deliverance and I must say, this was a huge catapult into the person I am today. Through these meetings I was able to find the root to my anger – the abuse. I forgave the man that took my innocence and this enabled me to move forward. As I kept attending, I experienced one change after another. My countenance cooled down and my aggression ceased. Today, despite all that I have been through, I have a legitimate job. I no longer feel the need to be the violent drug-seller I was before because it didn’t benefit me in any way. I am genuinely nice to people now, which is something I couldn’t do before. It has become embedded within my demeanor. My character has completely changed and I’m very happy being the person I am now. Cyrena Mullings Cyrena Mullings New Year’s Eve Vigil Thursday December
