Uchenna
I am originally from Nigeria and moved up to Manchester city after having been accepted at the University of Manchester to Study Chemical Engineering. Just like most Engineering courses, Chemical Engineering is very demanding and requires a substantial amount of hard work and sacrifice irrespective of one’s natural ability.
It’s been fantastic being a member of King’s Church. I have experienced a lot of amazing things happen to me and the people around me, not by our power or the seemingly good deeds we do but by the special grace of God.
To be frank, the first couple of months in Kings were quite lonely. Being 18 years old, I was still a bit withdrawn and never really bothered to stay for tea, coffee and biscuits after service. However, I was approached by a group of wonderful Malaysian girls who made me feel so welcomed and comfortable in King’s.
In no time I was part of the tea and coffee team helping to serve after service. It is a blessing to serve because ‘if you want to be great in God’s kingdom, learn to be servants of all’ (Mark 9:35). Being part of the team is just one of the plenty ways to serve at King’s.
Our God has been sooo faithful to me as I mentioned earlier on, in my academics, I have always been head and never tail. God has been my provider – I have a constant part-time job that is very well paid, flexible and filled with good natured people. God has been my protector and my guide – everyday I go out and come in safely. He has been my healer – the slightest hurt in my body, He takes it away and MOST importantly He is my saviour. For when I was still a sinner, He bought me with his precious blood, giving me new life in him.
Not only have I witnessed all these wonderful things in my life but also in the lives of my friends here in King’s Church. And so I urge you to get involved, join a ‘church in the home’, join a service team, go out for meals, fellowship with members of the church outside the church, serve the Lord God with all your heart with all your might and with all your spirit and see if He would not open up the gates of heaven and pour down His blessing.
