I thank God for you. Your messages are changing hundreds, if not millions, of lives across our continent and the world. I always listen to the programs, and I can’t explain or describe the feeling of missing them due to work commitments. Every broadcast revives my spirit and gives me strength to stand firm in spite of my colleagues rejecting me.

I’m 21 years old and a first-year university student. I realized that I have been leading a life in complete darkness despite the fact that I have been your listener. One day, after the daily message which was so powerful, I asked the Lord to accept me, though I am a sinner. Since that time, I have had the joy of the Lord. Kindly send me some literature for my Christian growth.

I am 17, and I enjoy your program a lot. Not only does it encourage me to be confident and determined in Jesus, but it also helps me to trust in Him.
