She had fallen in love with her classmate in the tertiary institution and her parents would have none of it. Her parents were elites and they keep asking, “Who do you say his parents are?”. The poor boy was the son of a farmer in a small village. Her parents had an alternative for her in a young lawyer. She […]
Because of what they had experienced in other mission postings, they gave away all they had before they moved to the new place where they were now in charge because of the divine promotion they received.

A dear father in the faith and his beloved wife shared a touching experience with us as an intending couple some years back. They got married while the man was a priest in a small village.

Irewamiri shared a testimony about how her mind was besieged during the pregnancy of our second baby. It was so bad that images of death would flash at her. She practically fought depression. For months, it was a siege. One of the things the Lord did was to place other images of victory and templates that it was possible to […]
There was a time that our house (my parents’ house) was in invaded by rats. We would kill rats almost every night. There were slow rats, fat rats and even one flying rat. You were trying to hit it on the chair but it has found its way to the window- it could spring up so fast and with ease. […]
One of my dear sisters on this journey said to me, “I love your appetite for knowledge” when she discovered that I travel monthly to attend the Ministers Seminar in my Spiritual Father’s Church.
