I
was at a meeting on April 7, 2001 where I made a decision to release myself for
missionary work after listening to an anointed message titled “Salt of the
earth”. I got a definite call to serve God as a missionary on February 13,
2007. It was the day I had my first job interview after the one year mandatory
service to the country. I was planning for the future when God spoke to my
heart that he has called me to be a missionary.
I
struggled with this inspiration for a while until I had a dream. I saw myself
going for an occasion with some people. On approaching the venue I saw a lot of
invitees gorgeously dressed so I was eager to get my clothes and look good as
well and join the gathering. By the time I got my clothes they were not my
size, I just couldn’t put them on to join the party. They were undersized.
While ruminating about the dream, the Holy Spirit told me that if I follow my
personal desires and plans I will not be fulfilled at the end of my life but if
I yield to him he will lead me to a place of rest and fulfillment. From the day
I had the dream; I concurred to the call of God upon my life and started
praying for His grace and direction.
On
August 15, 2007 during an all night meeting, Burundi was laid in my heart as
the place to start the missionary work. I began to research about the country.
I resigned from my teaching job and went for missions training from September 2008
till August 2009. In the year 2011, I was in Burundi for one month for
missionary work and survey. This year 2012, I should start living there with my
family. Even though it is the fourth poorest country in the world, I have the
joy that God has an assignment for us there and he has been preparing us for this
task since we were born.
In Christ,

Country of Work: Burundi.
