My Story
Coming from a Christian family and a Christian upbringing, I felt as if I was missing out on all the things my friends were doing such as smoking, clubbing late into the night and womanising. This was the beginning of my downhill spiral into persuing an "exciting" life. I lived as a "Christian" by day and a sinner by night.
After being burnt with the cruel ways of life's hard lessons, I looked back at all i've done and realized that I never really did enjoy myself and was always left with a horrible "emptiness" inside me.
Not till arriving in the UK to join the British Army was i confronted with a choice; Either take God seriously and attain "God's lifeskills" before embarking on fighting in IRAQ, or just go head-strong into the potentially dark future that was staring me in the face.
Suddenly, all became clear when I decided to go to Carmel Bible College to attain more of the vision God has for me. Now I'm living my life through God's potential rather than a really limited life living for myself.
I've never fitted in so well, and felt so fulfilled within myself like this!
