Testimony: I was raised in a Christian home and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of twelve. I was involved in church activities such as Sunday School, choir and Bible studies. Even though I had much exposure to the Word of God it was not until I attended a youth conference in Bamako, capital of Mali that really understood the good news of what Christ has done for me. He died to save me from my sins not only that he delivered me from my fears. Since then, I have developed a personal relationship with Christ. He has been my source of strength, hope and peace wherever I go.
