Spiritual renewal and physical healings
I was raised in the Christian faith, but like a good number of Africans, I grew up in an environment where culture and tradition have a strong influence on beliefs. Before getting deeply involved in the discovery and reading of the Bible, I worshipped the ancestors and thought that my great-grandparents, who died before I was born, could make bad or good decisions about me.
A few years later, when I started to question the soundness of this tradition, I wanted to know the Bible teachings better. So I started to attend the Sunday services of a Christian church and to follow the guidance of the Word of the Bible.
One day, I made the decision to leave my native country, Cameroon, because my family and I were going through a difficult social situation. I had to move away in hopes of finding better employment somewhere else, in order to provide for them.
