My Testimony

I have been living in Canada for about five years. I love Canada and its people. Canada is a multicultural country built by immigrants from different corners of the earth. These immigrants moved to Canada with their cultures and religions. The multiculturalism of Canada has actually made ministry work and spreading the gospel both easy and challenging from my personal experience. I meet people who have an open mind towards the gospel and others who do not want to even hear it at all. I love and show respect to all people I have contact with, irrespective of their religious believes, social and personal practices.

My parents were Catholics, so I had to go to the Catholic church with them as a little boy. During that time, I knew who JESUS was but I was not having a personal relationship with Him. When I left my parents to live on my own after I was done with my first degree, I continued to attend the Catholic church until August 2006 when I was invited by my older sister to a 3-day fasting and prayer program in my current church - Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM). During that program, my eyes were opened and I realized that even though I went to church most Sundays, my heart was not completely occupied by Jesus Christ, I decided to give my life completely to Jesus so that I could have a personal relationship with Him. At the end of that program, God opened up two opportunities for me. JESUS miraculously gave me a job I did not apply for and an opportunity to pursue a Masters degree in Scotland, UK with a sponsor who was ready to pay my full tuition and other help. I prayed to God for His guidance and he asked me to go pursue the Masters

I became a Catholic when I was baptized as a little baby but then bad situations occurred and I missed out on being the Catholic I wanted to become as a little girl because my parents stopped taking me to church.

    Canada currently prides itself as being tolerant and flexible with freedoms for all, regardless of the ethnic group. Canada recognizes multiculturalism as part of our national identity. While it presently is well on its way, it took a lot of determination, organization, and tenacity by the minority group immigrants and their white sympathizers. Canada in its early days was a young British nation that was populated mainly by farmers, fisher’s and fur traders. Early inhabitants were mainly French fur traders; and Britain’s need for supremacy, conquered the French settlers.…

    The past two years living in Canada has been difficult for my family and I. Adjusting to the canadian lifestyle was a struggle; however, with support from family and friends it has made the transition easier then I had imagined. I always knew living in England, London was temporary due to the repeatable conversations my family and I would have about moving. These conversations were frequent and led to arguments and stress as stepping into the unknown always led to doubt. It was all a matter of fact when we would make the first step.…

    The day Paul Martin JR. gave his beloved speech on Bill C-38 [Civil Marriage Act] on Feb 16th, 2005, he approached a nation weakened and unnerved by the fear of change. He exclaimed that, “The people of Canada have worked hard to build a country that opens its doors to include all, regardless of their differences; a country that respects all, regardless of their differences; a country that demands equality for all, regardless of their differences.” With that message of hope and assurance, the country rallied behind the 21st Prime Minister of Canada who set the stage to declare Canada a just and equal society that not only welcomes but also celebrates equality. Canada is currently ranked second for tolerance and inclusion in the social progress index.…

    All through my childhood, I heard about Jesus and I remember being about four years old when my mother knelt beside me as I prayed the “sinners prayer” and asked Jesus to be my Lord and Savior. I cannot say that it was the most powerful moment of my life; yet it was very significant start to my spiritual journey. This journey has allowed me to see the Holy Spirit bring Jesus alive in my life, call me into ministry, show me the works of the Holy Spirit, and become the voice that leads me every day. First of all, I was your average churched kid, creating as much mischief as the next little boy. Thanks be to God that I had a praying mother who kept me in church and showed me the value of scripture and prayer in daily life.…
