Saved from street life

I testify to the glory of God for all He has done for me. He saved me and made me whole again. My upbringing as a child was terrible. The place my family stayed in Ilorin did not help matters as I later joined a notorious gang within my area. I continued with my wayward lifestyle till the age of 18 when I had to relocate to Ibadan. When I got to Ibadan, I found another gang who helped to up my game in the business of thuggery. Soon enough, my father sent a message to me that I should start going to church.  I joined a church nearby. For a while I was consistent in the church and my cousin later frustrated me out of her house. I had no choice but to go back to those bad boys that I had as friends. My state was now worse off than it appeared at first. At some point, I came to my senses and I thought that there is no way I will do well in life if I continue like this. I remember that my cousin once recommended The Stone Church to me and I decided to visit the church. I couldn’t help but weep when I heard the word of God for the first time that I came. That day, I gave my life to Christ at the end of the sermon and God filled my heart with His peace and joy. God gave me a brand-new start in spite of my past. Now, I am a married man and God has been so gracious to me and my family. – Bro E
