Missionary profile – *N to the Gulf

My father left my mother when l was very young. Life as a single parent was not easy on my Mom. It didn’t help that it took me two years to learn how to walk. My father was a devoted Muslim, while my mother was a Christian. Without a father, I found myself mixed up in religion and sin until the heavenly Father found me. I’m now serving as a missionary in the Gulf. I finally walked across continents for the Lord.

l studied Maritime Studies at Dar-es-salaam Maritime Institute. l travelled for work in the Gulf Peninsula, and that’s when l heard an unknown voice in my heart. When l returned home after some years, l followed up that voice by reading books in seeking that unknown voice. l went in all religious books, and l found that voice that spoke to me was Jesus Christ, and I gave my life to Him.

l heard about cross-cultural missions through my sister. She took me to missionaries, and l learned a lot from them. I moved back to the Gulf Peninsula with a mission to work and reach out to the people there, including those seeking greener pastures in the Gulf. I work with a ministry that sends Africans to the diaspora as missionaries. Christians form less than 15% of the population here; there’s a desperate need for the Gospel.

I have seen God’s favour and His anointing. It’s a beautiful testimony as I show the world around me that God indeed exists and Christ died for them too.

Insecurity is one of my biggest challenges in the mission field. The truth is always fought while lies have a wide ground and freedom. The laws of the countries don’t favour the Gospel. We need a lot of finances for the work to progress, which is sometimes challenging. Apostle Paul tells all believers to stick to their calling. Mission is a calling, not a profession; it’s devotion and commitment. Africa should rise for Christ. Let’s go, Africa, and spread the true, living message of Jesus Christ.
