Brief Background

I hail from a christian background.I have seven siblings and two half brothers.I am the youngest among my siblings. My father was a Pastor, though his parents were not a christian. My father was among the christian pioneers in our village. He got married to a woman, much older than him . They got two sons. Then they could not get along too well so they  divorced. Then he met my mother, much younger than him. 

After some years,with the plot of some narrow and evil minded people, my parents and some villagers were framed as an underground, a rebellions, so the Government sent a troop to arrest and kill them. They were ambushed, raided. A bullet pierced through the wall of my parents home but a thick covered Bible saved my mother from being hit. Many were tortured and they died years later due to that effect . 

My parents along with their two eldest children (who were already born by then) and some villagers flee through thick jungles, with many hardships and find their way and got sheltered in some other villages.The traitors looted all the properties of the people whom they framed as rebellions and destroyed the houses and their other possessions. The people who fled parted their ways and my parents got shelter from one village to another.My father along with my Mother led Revival crusades, built up churches in those places where there were none. This went on for some years until their sixth child was born.Then a Big Fall. 

My father backslided. He became a drunker. Me and my elder sister never saw any of the things mention above neither did we see my father working great things for the Lord. By the time we were born, he was a great drunker, a Government employee,  his first wife and parents were already dead,  we were firmly settled in the heart of the city and my parents never got along well. Even my mother backslided after my father. However, my mother soon came back to God and till now she is an active worker of the Lord. As for my father, he passed away on March 2009, receiving Christ once again as his Saviour.

I grew up in this background where  parents always fought, where there were many siblings with little to meet their needs. But we were never starved or went naked by God's Grace. However, we were never taught anything about God or spiritual things. 

I never went to church or believe in God or had faith in Jesus. I'd always go my own ways, never listen to elders. After my High School, I even started taking tobaccos (thankfully I never took drugs or alcohol). I even neglected on my studies, which got me left behind in Graduation. Then I got more rebellious and even got to the extend of challenging God.

With God's mercy I was struck by sickness (which I am still bearing it) and He call me out to be His servant. I am glad that today I am still kept alive by God and be His witness, though I am not worthy to be so. With the help of my Saviour I will walk and live my life according to His will. Now I am a Bible student. I need to learn and know more about The Bible so that I may equip myself with His Holy Word, and use it as an instrument in spreading the message of Love to the people who are lost and uninformed about His Greatness.
