MI TESTIMONY
I grew up knowing God and Jesus, but never knew you could really build a relationship with God. When Covid began in 2020 I went to a farm my dad work at. That’s where I learned more about the Lord and came to know Him better and better. I got baptized and were on fire for God.
As time went on I finished school in 2021, and moved to the farm outside of a small town called Ermelo to live with family. I worked on the farm with my dad, and started to study animals and plants. I really enjoyed what I was doing, and at the same time learned more about the Lord, but deep inside I knew I was not where I was meant to be.
Some time later, my step mom were talking to a colleague about work. They knew each other from school so they started talking about family and how was everyone. His daughter was at a church in Witbank and was doing Bible School there and my mom found that very interesting as that was something that I was looking at at that point. So we sought to find out more about how it works at the Bible School. We got in contact with Pastor Christi and arranged a meeting.
Me and my step mom got in the car not knowing Witbank or where the church ‘Heritage of Faith’ actually was. So to get to the church was a journey on its own. We arrived by the church on time. I was so excited because I really felt like things are starting to happen.
After the meeting with Pastor Christi. I knew that this was the place had to be at. I waited a while for things to be approved and arranged, and in July the year 2022 I came to Mixchange.
Jesus really is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
