Summary

SummaryI grew up in a Christian home but lived a carnal life until high school, when godly influences at my new school led me to true devotion to Jesus. 🙏 In 2020, during the pandemic, I joined Elevate’s discipleship group, where I found community and purpose. ❤️‍🩹 In August 2023, a routine check revealed that my congenital atrial and ventricular septal defects had never closed, and I needed open-heart surgery. Instead of fear, I felt Christ’s perfect peace (John 14:27). 🕊️ Through waived fees, kind strangers, and providential connections—down from 1 million to 260 000—I saw God’s supernatural provision (Philippians 4:6-7). 💰 On December 11, 2023, just before my 19th birthday, I was operated on at the National Children’s Hospital. Angels in scrubs prayed over me, and by God’s grace I recovered fully by April 29, 2024. 🎂 Today, my scar reminds me of His faithfulness, and I serve Him with all my heart. 🎉
