“One day, I was on a bicycle. Suddenly, the bicycle fell down and I broke one of my legs. And then I prayed to God so that He can heal me. So God healed me and I am now well. I thank God for healing me.”

“One day my mother told me when you are afraid, you have to pray so that the fear may go away. The next day at night, I heard some noises and I was afraid. I remembered what my mum told me and I prayed two times. The first prayer was to pray that God would take away the fear. Then after I prayed, the devil told me if you accept Jesus in your heart, he will destroy your life. I said no, I believe in Jesus Christ. I am a Christian and I do not belong to you. I belong to Jesus. The fear went away and now I can laugh again. I can sing again. That is how Jesus came in my heart.”

“One day in school, we were taught about algebra. The teacher asked us “Who has not understood?” I did not want to raise up my hand because I thought pupils will laugh at me and call me a foolish student. Something in my heart told me that it was the devil tempting me. That time, I followed the thing which told me not to raise my hand. I did this for many years but one day I prayed to God to give me confidence in class or anywhere I went. I told God to be in my heart forever.
So one day one of my teachers told me to say a verse at the school parade ground, I stood and I said eight verses. People were shocked and many people became my friends and learned more from me. On prize giving day, I got a medal and two certificates for the most confident pupil. God made me a very confident girl and I preach the gospel on how God made me confident. I love Jesus very much. ”

“When I was about five years old, something very special happened. I received Christ as my Savior and friend. It all happened this sunny morning when my mother and I were doing some house work. We were working and talking then I asked her, ‘Who is God and why does He bless?’ She told me that God is the creator of heaven and earth and He blesses us because He loves us.
I asked another question, ‘Why does He love us if we are sinners?’ She answered because He gave His son’s life to pay for our sins.’ She also gave me a verse to memorise, John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. And I believed in Christ Jesus.”
