"I had been to numerous churches before God spoke to me.

I wanted to live a life pleasing to God; I wanted to walk the right path. I fought this serious battle where God held one of my hands, whilst the Devil held the other, and I could feel the pressure. It wasn't easy. I cried every day of my life, telling my partner (boyfriend at the time) that I just wanted to surrender to God but he kept giving me empty promises even when I told him that this was not the life God wanted for me

One Sunday morning I was worshipping in a church called Greater Works Ministry when I felt the Holy Spirit speak to me, telling me that I needed to worship in a smaller congregation. I was shocked and because of that I stayed home, and after two weeks, I visited a smaller church. After some time, I got invited by a friend to another church and didn't stay long at that one either because following that invitation, I left and attended another church. I felt empty. I didn't feel like myself and I felt incomplete, like a part of me was missing.

The following Saturday after I left, I remember washing dishes at home when a voice told me that I needed to visit this small church in Marigot, and I listened. The next day, I got dressed and made my way to this church Sea of Hope Bible Church. When I entered, I sat down and there was this blue wall in front of my that I just stared at and felt a wave of peace come over me and my mind, and instantly I knew this was it.

The next Sunday, Brother Justus gave a sermon on Baptism and I went up, wanting to be part of the class, wanting to be baptized soon. In my mind, all my worries were gone, I didn't care if my partner left me or not; The only thing on my mind was God and I told him that day that I chose Him and that there was no turning back.

And here I am today still at Sea of Hope Bible Church with no regrets. All this time God had a plan for me and was preparing this church so that I may find Him. Every day, I am thankful to be able to walk in the newness of life and completion."
