Testimony

God brought me into the NBC program at a very low point in my life. I had just been through a very sad affair with someone and I was still severely emotionally vested and hurt. I was angry and depressed and I needed a place of reprieve and healing. I can't remember what I wrote as my expectation when registering for the program initially but I know it was exceeded. 

The first thing that caught my heart was the homeliness of the staff. They were immediately welcoming and eager to help, even though I was a total stranger. I have always believed that amount of love and attention needed to be earned but not here. 

Then we met the Word. It came with so much simplicity but the power backing it was undeniable. We practically saw a God that wasn't mystical or vague but who loved us and wanted this intimate relationship with us. I encountered the Word and it's healing power for the first time in my life. I honestly cannot pinpoint when exactly I started to drop those emotional baggages I came with. I just started noticing it doesn't hurt as much anymore and I had started smiling genuinely. I was actually healing from my past. This is an aspect of my life I have come to see as part of me, I never knew it was even possible to be free from. 

My relationship with God is on a whole new level. At NBC I met death, death to self. 

I want to say a very special thank you to Bro. Lucky and his team for everything. For the atmosphere here, and the safe haven they are building for NBC students whether new or old. Thank you for taking your time to answer all our questions no matter how ridiculous. 

Bro Lucky showed us his scars as well, it personally challenged and encouraged me. It taught me that despite all I have been through and done, Jesus hasn't given up on me.

Now death is at work in me, So I can give life.

Hallelujah!!
