Testimonies

When I was young, I began drinking alcohol believing it was safer than using drugs. This continued for 10 years, and I became addicted. Eventually, I realised this addiction was also as dangerous as any other drug addiction.

During those 10 years, I couldn’t maintain a job. I lost my relationships with my family, friends, and even my connection with God. I would pray, but it was mere mindless babble.

One day, I went for a drink with a few friends. After they left, I continued drinking by myself and became so drunk that I fell asleep on a void deck, surrounded by my own vomit with my valuables lying all over the ground. The following week, a similar incident happened where I nearly lost my life. That’s when I suddenly developed a fear of losing my life to alcohol. I went home with a heavy heart and a sense of loss.

The following Sunday, I tuned in to New Creation Church’s online service where Pastor Prince preached a message about asking God for wisdom, and making it a priority in everything we do.

I listened intently to the sermon and told myself that the countless stints in incarceration and rehabs wouldn’t help me, but Jesus would.

I cried and called out to God, asking Him to give me wisdom and to guide me, His lost sheep, back to Him.

Since then, things started to change. I am now sober and I read the Bible and pray regularly. I haven't needed to take any medical leave from work, and I’ve rebuilt my relationships with friends and family, and most importantly with Jesus!

In addition, I no longer live in fear. I'd like to thank God for all He has done. Even my counsellors and friends were shocked at how I, a once raging addict and alcoholic, could change just like that. I give all the praise to our heavenly Father. Thank you, Pastor Prince, for your amazing ministry!

I am 66 years of age. About 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, which is inflammation of the colon.

In the beginning, during flare-ups, I was in a lot of pain and had to take a steroid for the inflammation. These flare-ups would occur two or three times a year. There is no cure, and ulcerative colitis doesn’t go away on its own. I was also told I needed a colonoscopy every year.

Then, about 10 years ago, my wife and I were introduced to Pastor Prince and his teachings on the gospel of grace and the truth behind receiving the holy Communion. My wife and I began receiving the Communion almost daily. Little by little, my colon got better, and my doctor scheduled a colonoscopy every two years, then every three years.

Well, just recently, after 10 years of receiving the Communion almost daily, I had a colonoscopy, and the result was that my colon is completely normal, and I don’t have to have another colonoscopy for five years. My doctor was shocked at how clean and normal my colon was! God healed me through the receiving of the Communion. The ulcerative colitis I had for the past 20 years is completely gone by the regular receiving of the Communion over the last 10 years. Hallelujah!

Thank You, Jesus, and thank you, Pastor Prince, for sharing the gospel of grace and teaching the truth behind the holy Communion—that by His stripes we are healed!

In 2019, my marriage was falling apart. I was pregnant, and my husband got retrenched from work. My husband felt hurt by the church we were fellowshipping in and attended church less than four times that year.

I continued going to church with the children, and my husband felt betrayed. That added to the strain on our marriage. By the end of 2019, we were unofficially separated as I moved back to live with my parents, and he lived by himself.

By the time COVID-19 hit our country in March, I had moved back to our marital home, even though we were not necessarily on good speaking terms. I started streaming the messages from Pastor Prince, and this further upset my husband.

Things got so bad that by the end of 2021, my husband and I were not on good terms. Our financial situation wasn’t good either. By 2022, my husband moved out of the house, and we were headed for a divorce.

I remember Pastor Prince preached a couple of messages on the four horsemen. After listening to those messages, I decided to go back to church. My husband wanted to reunite, and to the glory of God, I got a new job and also an increase in my salary in the year of rest and acceleration. This eased the financial strain.

My husband and I are now reunited and going to church together with the children. God kept us through the darkest times as a family, and we continue to trust Him to show His goodness. All glory to God. Thank You, Jesus.

I was arrested for robbery and murder at the age of 22 while in university. I spent more than 24 years in prison, 15 of which was on death row, condemned to die.

Life in prison was hard, and I was full of regret, shame, fear, and condemnation. I searched for God and did all I could to earn His favour, but things only got worse, and I had no joy.

While on death row, a fellow inmate introduced me to Pastor Joseph Prince’s sermons on television. Since then, my life has changed forever. I learned what religion doesn’t teach—that my sins have been forgiven in the past, present, and future! This brought me real freedom and joy while in prison.

I was released after having my sentence reduced in March 2019. I got married and have two lovely young boys with whom the Lord has blessed me. He has indeed blessed me, and I am not only able to look after my family, but I am also running a project to help ex-inmates reintegrate into society.

God is in the process of restoring what the locusts have eaten, and I truly want to be a blessing to others. Thank you, Pastor Prince. May God abundantly bless your ministry.

For a large part of my adult life, I often pondered the existence of God and what role He might play in my life. When I was younger, I attended a few church services, but somehow did not feel persuaded to learn more about the gospel.­

I met my wife when I was in university, and I knew that she attended New Creation Church, but I did not ask her much about it.

When we got married, she often spoke boldly about her faith and how God performed miracles in her life. However, I would brush them aside thinking I knew better. On Sundays, she would tune in to the morning service while I remained in bed.

Fast forward to 2023—a year where we experienced many dark seasons as a couple. After multiple episodes of "intense discussions" with my wife, I felt defeated within myself. I realised I had made many mistakes.

One day in June, as my wife was preparing to attend her usual Sunday service at The Star Performing Arts Centre, I felt a calling from within and asked if I could join her to see things for myself.

I never expected my tears to flow so freely during that service. Not only my tears, but I felt a sense of unmerited grace and endless love from the Lord. Despite all my transgressions, wrong doings, and wrong thoughts, there was Someone who was willing to bear my sins and even paid the price for me with His life on the cross at Calvary.

From that first service, I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. After that day, supernatural things started to happen around me and my wife. Total strangers who stayed in the same estate as ours started appearing in our lives, providing us with great fellowship and marriage advice. We even joined a care group!

What is even more amazing was that in October 2023, I got water baptised! Today, I am a new believer, a better husband, father and son—all because of the Lord, who answers all prayers!

How do I know He answers all prayers? I recently found out that my wife has been praying for me to receive Christ all this time for the past 17 years!

Praise the Lord. Thank you, Pastor Prince, and New Creation Church!
