Testimony 1: God reminded me that even what seems small to us can be a vessel for His presence.

I’ve always seen myself as just a dancer—someone who brings energy, joy, and expression to the stage. But on the 23rd of February, God reminded me that even what seems small to us can be a vessel for His presence.

I was performing to the song Heavenly Therapy, dancing like I always do, fully immersed in the moment. After the performance, someone came up to me. They told me they loved the way I danced, but then they said something I wasn’t expecting. Through the song, through the movement, through what we were doing on that stage—they felt a call to Jesus. 

Right there, they knew they needed to give their life to Christ. They wanted to be baptized.

I was shocked. Because to me, I was just dancing. But to them, it was an encounter with God. Not just through me, but through all of us. Yet, for some reason, they saw something in the way I was fully present, in the way I smiled, in the way I worshiped through movement.

And that moment changed something in me. I realized—our gifts are not just for us. When we surrender them to God, He uses them in ways we could never imagine. What I thought was just a performance, God turned into a moment of salvation.

This testimony is not about me. It’s about how God moves. How He can take something as simple as a dance and use it to draw someone closer to Him. And if He can do that with me, He can do that with anyone willing to let Him. All glory to God!!

Testimony 2: How God made a way for me to go back to school.

I want to testify about how God made a way for me to go back to school without being a financial burden on my parents. I knew from the start that my family wouldn’t be able to afford my tuition, so I had to find another way. That’s when I applied for a bursary.

At first, I was scared—bursaries aren’t easy to get, and I didn’t know if I would qualify. But by God’s grace, last year, I received confirmation that I had been provisionally funded. I was overjoyed! I told my mom and dad, and they were so happy for me. I felt such a relief knowing that my education was secured, and I could enjoy my December holiday (2024) without stress.

But then, this year, a new challenge came up. My registration fees had to be paid, and the bursary process was taking time. They needed to verify academic and financial documents, and I had to submit additional paperwork—things I could have done last year if I had known. Meanwhile, I was hearing from friends that university spaces were filling up fast. Even if you were accepted, if you didn’t register in time, you would lose your place and have to wait until next year. That fear started creeping in—what if I lost my spot? What if all this effort was for nothing? 

I didn’t just sit back and wait. I started looking for another way and applied for a trust fund because I knew they processed payments faster. But even that took time. I was praying, trusting, and hoping, but I didn’t know what would happen. And then, in the end, God showed up—someone paid for my registration!  

Looking back, I see how God was teaching me to trust Him through the delays and uncertainties. There were moments of doubt, moments of fear, but He came through in a way I didn’t even expect. 

So to anyone who is trusting God for provision, for opportunities, or for a breakthrough—don’t give up. Sometimes things take longer than we want, and we feel like we’re running out of time, but God is never late. He makes a way where there seems to be no way. Keep trusting, keep pushing, and watch how He comes through for you!
