Free from a life of violence
From the age of 13, I was involved with gangs and drugs. I also robbed
people for the sake of money. When I was invited to the Victory Youth
Group at the UCKG HelpCentre I decided to stay for a meeting that was
happening afterwards.
The words I heard that day made me realise that my life was not a joke. I
needed to take life seriously. I learnt the way to achieve a transformation
by attending the UCKG and, today, that life no longer attracts me.
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 did not know
how to get back up
My dreams shattered along with my self-esteem when I failed in my love
life. I was in the UK, in an unfamiliar country, I didn´t speak English, I had
no source of income, my visa was about to expire and I had no idea how
I would renew it.
However, I found the way to hope at the UCKG HelpCentre. I spoke to an
adviser and I was encouraged to attend the meetings. After acting on
the advice and keeping faith I received permanent residency in the UK
and I am also happily married.

The way to freedom
I was full of anger. Always fighting, drinking, smoking, stealing which resulted
in me being arrested. As a child I was molested by a family member and this
made me feel isolated. This person was trusted and loved, so no one was going
to believe me. I was filled with hate and resentment. Another family member
assaulted me when I moved to England.
At the UCKG HelpCentre I opened up to someone and it was such a relief.
I learnt to let go of the hurt and anger, also to forgive, in order to 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.

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.
