“I’m on this journey of sanctification where I am going from glory to glory, faith to faith, and grace to grace. I have this tapestry of community that I am part of that is helping to reshape and mold me into the person I want to be.”

“It was July 2013, my son was twelve at that stage, Hillsong was still at the Town Hall and he wanted a lift. I wasn’t saved at that time and I thought I will just take him to church and be very low-key. I was sitting in church, my arms folded, and didn’t interact or worship really, but I was unaware that God’s word will not return void, and slowly but surely God’s word saturated my heart.

Almost one year later, in April 2014, my Mother-in-law bought me a ticket for Colour and it was on the Sunday at church together when we sang oceans and I just had that moment. I realised that I am His and He is mine. I surrendered my life to Jesus, right there in the Grand West.

That same year in September, I got baptised at Hillsong Somerset West and something amazing happened. I entered the water and came out of that water set free and delivered from 22 years of addiction.

I am so thankful for God and His faithfulness in my life. I have been sober for 80 months now and currently helping to facilitate the F.I.R.E course in Somerset West where I can help others and be part of their journey in freedom.”
