The journey to victory

From the age of 3 , I was a victim of sexual , psychological and physical abuse . I grew to witness my parent ’ s disastrous relationship . I was an unhappy child , many years passed and nothing changed . My sorrow turned into chronic depression . I received an invitation to attend the UCKG HelpCentre and , after attending , everything in me changed .
After working on self-restoration , I began investing in and restoring the relationship with my family . The UCKG taught me that the word IMPOSSIBLE does not exist for those who stick by their faith and find the way .

I was given a lifeline

I went from being perfectly healthy to having the tissue on the left side of my stomach rot . I required an eight-and-a-half-hour operation to remove it . At 2.30am the hospital informed my wife that I was clinically dead . Prayers were made on my behalf , and this is the way in which things changed . I remember opening my eyes .
After recovering , doctors went ahead with the operation to remove the rotten tissue that was still there , which was successful this time around . I am thankful to those who came to pray for me often .

* The UCKG HelpCentre ’ s spiritual advice is to be seen as a complement to the scientifically proven treatment you may be receiving . The UCKG HelpCentre does not claim to heal people but believes that God can through the power of faith . Always follow your doctor ’ s instructions .

Faith was the answer

Before I came to the UCKG HelpCentre my life was a disaster . My husband and I were always fighting and I had immigration , financial and health problems . Through our faith and what we learnt at UCKG HelpCentre , we were able to find a way to erase our hardships .
My husband and I no longer argue ; we are currently building our second home in our country and we have opened a business in our country which is doing very well . We both have successful careers .
