Our Testimony God called us God called me and my beloved wife Esther to serve Him. We have been married for 16 years and we have been serving God facing severe poverty and persecutions. There was a glimmer of hope for the growth of our ministry. Because regional and communal feelings crushed us and did not allow us to prosper in our ministry. We have been strangers and we have been living in rented houses. We have to vacate the house when ever the Land Lords demand us. So it is a great hindrance to the growth of our ministry. In the month of January and February 1999 My father and mother went to be with the Lord. At the same time I developed severe pneumonia and was admitted in the hospital in a precarious condition. ..... Thinking that I died all my relatives came to bury me and found that I was still alive. It was really a period of frustration, fear and anxiety. I ran in to debts and almost lost hopes of my survival on the earth.
