Summary
I was once a rebellious youth caught in drugs and poor decisions, facing legal troubles and a life‐threatening illness. Raised in a Christian home but drifting away, I found myself in deep crisis when I was diagnosed with lupus that led to kidney failure. In a desperate time during a church retreat, I experienced a divine encounter that transformed my heart. Through painful hospitalizations, months of dialysis and a near‐miraculous recovery when my kidney functions returned to normal, I learned that true healing comes only through obedience to Jesus. My journey—from broken relationships and loss of family to becoming a worship leader and evangelist—has been marked by God’s guiding hand. Today, I share my testimony to encourage others to trust in Jesus, surrender fully, and experience the restoration that only He can bring.
