opportunity to be educated. I promised God that
I would study hard and use what I learned to help
people like me.
At Christ’s College, my greatest challenge was
English. I was shocked to know from the first day
of class that all my English courses were taught
by American teachers with instruction in English
only! I didn’t understand what was going on in
class at all and I felt so afraid. Worse yet, some of
my classmates had really good English ability. I
prayed non-stop, and one night I heard God saying,
“My grace is sufficient.” I knew it was a promise
from the Lord and He would provide for me. Still,
I cried because it seemed hopeless. I confessed
to God how incapable I was. I asked for courage,
endurance and faith to carry on. I began sleeping
only 4 to 5 hours a night in order to spend more
time studying. I knew my academic performance
and memory were both deficient, so I studied harder
than my peers. I did every assignment as doing it
for the Lord. I looked forward to bringing glory to
the Lord who loved me so much.
English wasn’t the only challenge. When I came,
I had only enough money to study for one semester
– nearly six month’s salary. But through my four
years at college, God provided my tuition by giving
me scholarships and moving people to support me.
Even more surprising, God also moved my father
to pay for my tuition for two semesters -- humanly
speaking, this was impossible.
By God’s grace, I graduated as valedictorian and
delivered the final speech in English in keeping
with the college tradition. I spoke English fluently
in front of everybody and I gave praise to my
loving Father God for what He had done for me.
Every day of my life at the college for four years
was a miracle!
I was once abandoned, but now I belong! I no
longer hear people talking negatively behind my
back. I am truly a new person in Christ. God has
kept His promises and I give Him all the glory. I
want to serve him with all my life so that others
who feel abandoned would come to know God’s
love too.
