Leah K.

My name is Leah. I’m a born again Christian. I come from Kenya. I worship at the PCEA Church in an area called Churiri that is in Nyandarua County in Kenya.

I love Jesus as my personal savior because since I got saved, I have seen so many things that God has done on my side. I’m a single mother of two. My experience with Jesus started when I was born. I’ve been brought up in a Christian family. My mother is a born again Christian and so was my deceased father.

We worked together from primary school until I went to high school. From high school I got a job in the Rift Valley, where I lived for about 10 years. Now I’m a farmer.

I know what Jesus has done in my life and for my family. I remember when my daughter was three years old. She got sick and I told her I was going to take her to the hospital. But first thing in the morning I didn’t know what she was doing.

We went to the hospital in the evening, and she told me, “Do you know what, my mother, when I knelt down in the morning I told God to send Jesus, his Son, and to come with him. So it’s not about the medicine but about the name of Jesus that I called in the morning that healed me.”

I was so surprised because that child taught me much about faith – my faith – so I had to be faithful with my God.

When she did her KCP in the year 2012, the school we applied for, we didn’t like it. She told me, “Mom, you know what? I don’t want any school in the central province and I know God has opened doors for me to be in the Rift Valley. What I know is that God has opened the door for me.”

And that one I believed, and I told her, “I want you to join a school in the Rift Valley.” Surprisingly, the letter we got came from Rift Valley, where we had not applied. That child taught us a lot about being faithful in Jesus. The school she wanted was a very, very expensive school and a very, very good school. After four years she joined a university, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in commerce.

And we thank God now that she got a job. She’s working with an NGO. Praise God for that.

I have been teaching my children how to love God and how to be faithful. I always tell my neighbors how to love Jesus. You can’t walk without God. As a Sunday school teacher I also teach my children how to love God and how to be faithful, because faith moves mountains. That is what I have experienced in my life.

So I would encourage others to be faithful and to love Jesus, because without God you can go nowhere. But with God you can go anywhere that you want to be. Any job that you wish for, you will get it, when you have God in your heart.

Thank you.
