“We’ve had
suffering”
of
‘I grew up in a home where there were constant fights and arguments; my
father was physically and emotionally abusive, which made me develop a
deep hatred towards him during my teens. I was suicidal and
wanted to end it all. I attempted to kill myself at least three
times. I started drinking and smoking as a way to forget
about my problems; but this practice soon became an
addictive habit.
This is exactly how I arrived at the Help Centre – as a
person who did not believe there was any way to stop
suffering. I thought that my life had no purpose,
but in this place I learned differently. Everything
I received at the UCKG built in me the strength
to finally take the decision to start a new life.
Today, the Gracia you see is more than happy
to be alive.

My name is Stephen Beepath. Before I came to the UCKG
I used to drink, smoke and be very depressed. Once I was
smoking and drinking I felt good, however the depression
would return, sometimes even worse. I visited the Help
Centre and immediately my life was transformed. It
is only when I started praying sincerely that God
removed all these urges from inside of me. I took
my decision and got baptised the same day. Today
I have complete joy, peace and happiness in my
life. I am truly blessed.
My name is Aneisha Patton. I used to be depressed and
frustrated. I was so stressed that I did not even want
to wake up in the morning. I started attending the
Friday services and I decided that I wanted a new life.
Today I’m no longer depressed I’m able to plan my
life better.
