Personal Stories

I am living in New York City, the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

I came to New Creation Church 16 years ago. Its messages, especially those that taught me about God’s love for me, really helped me. I began to see God’s blessings in my life. However, while my career was on an upward trajectory, nothing seemed to be happening on the life partner front. Back then, whenever Pastor Prince asked us to bring our prayer requests to the Lord, “life partner” would always be among my top three requests!

In 2012, my husband and I were listening to Pastor Prince’s CD album, Unveiling Jesus, in our car on the way to work. In that CD, Pastor Prince had said that there was someone listening to his sermon who was believing the Lord for a baby.

Just over two years ago, I became unemployed and left with no place to stay. I was also rejected by my family because all the money and luxuries I had were gone. My son and I ended up living in a village with a family in which only one person was employed as a domestic worker in a nearby town. This person made only $70 a month to feed seven people. Our living conditions were a far cry from what we were used to.

In May 2019, I heard Pastor Prince preach a sermon in which he specifically mentioned that someone listening would have a breakthrough in their infertility within the next year. At that time, my husband and I had been married for almost 13 years and were unable to conceive.

I’d battled depression on and off over the years, but 2020 was the darkest time I’ve ever had. I felt like I was drowning in a ferocious storm as wave after wave tossed me around. On top of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and being separated from the people I love, I was getting hit by one negative situation after another. Eventually, I felt my heart completely shatter.
