I grew up going to church with my parents every Sunday. At first I did not understand anything at all and thought that church was only for adults. But as I grew, I began to realise the value of attending
church.
When I accepted Jesus into my heart, my life changed
completely. My faith in Christ strengthened, and I received the call to share the gospel through choral singing. I started singing and improved quickly. I even recorded three albums. This resulted in invitations to sing in many countries such as Angola, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Norway, the United States and Mexico. I had never imagined that one day I would be sing- ing all over the world or that my music would be heard even in places I’ve never visited.
When we obey God’s call, we receive power from the Holy Spirit, and the Lord will do great things in our lives. We all have received special gifts from God. We can use our gifts to serve our neighbours and to spread the word of God to the ends of the earth.
Prayer: Dear Lord, teach us to praise you in spirit and in truth. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen
