Summary

I grew up in extreme poverty in Ethiopia and journeyed through Kenya, Belgium, and South Africa before coming to England. My life was wrecked by a relentless spiral of drug abuse and homelessness. I felt anger, rejection, and isolation until a simple act of ministry – a pastor coming into my life – stirred hope. In my darkest hour, through painful withdrawal and tearful prayers, I discovered a love so great that I gave my life to Jesus. My transformation wasn’t overnight; it was a long, heart-wrenching journey that led me from despair into a new life full of ministry, study, and hope. Every moment of my struggle now points to a deliverance that only Christ could bring.
