The Testimony Of Pastor Calvince Osongo

The Words Of Life

.

I grew up in a family of Four, my Father, mother and younger sister.  I was born in a Village know has Kangoje.  My father died while I was still 3yrs old., on his death he left my mom pregnant with my younger sister.  We started to face a rough tough life with my mother until she ended up becoming a whore so that she may get my sister and myself a daily meal.  My mom sold her body in return for food or money .During all this time my mom and I were religious members for we were going to the catholic church where my mom was one of the choir singers, but despite all that she was a prostitute sleeping with even some deacons, and priest just for money.  After five year my mother also died as a result of HIV/AIDS .

From there I started life with my younger sister when I was 9yrs old. After the death of both my parents, we were chased out of the clan and I started to live in tunnels with my sister.  I become a beggar for food in every house, all though during all this time I was a strong catholic who is an alter boy.  I suffered because I had to straggle with going to school and my sister school too.  I worked for people as a brick maker, sand washer, garbage collector and was looking for food from the left over of dogs and from the garbage.  I struggled with this life until I managed to finish my primary school.  After that, I couldn’t manage to pay for my high school as it was very expensive for me as my sister was also in primary school.  I never proceeded and I left school to look for the school money for my sister and food that we can eat.

In the year 2000 September, as I went to collect food from the garbage.  I met one pastor who's name was Rashid that was a Muslim but converted to Christianity, he tried to share the Gospel of Christ with me, but I was not listening about God or even about Jesus.  For I was wondering where this God was when my parents died and when I am suffering without food, bathes, clothes and sleeping in tunnels.  After one week when this pastor was coming to share with us, I came to the Knowledge of Christ and accepted to be saved.  From there I left Catholic and become a member of Church of the Nazarene.  Although I was now a Christian, things were growing more rough and worse with me.  Later in the year of 2003 God spoke with me four times in prayers and visions that He wants me to minister to my fellow street children.  From there I started to preach to youths on the streets and orphans who have lost hope in life.  Because Of my good work I become one of the Pastors with Church of the Nazarene in the year 2005.  But later, after becoming a strong member of the church in 2008, I found a lot of their teachings very contrary to the Scripture. I left them, since then I have been just preaching the Gospel Of repentance and walking in the Holy Spirit.  I have come across many churches but I have found them not giving the Truth but their own desires that if you are not willing to follow they count you as a bad person and they are willing to call you sorts of names.  But I accepted all because I am called by Him who wants us to follow His will and His will alone.  Due to that I do not accept many churches which want me to give THEM honor instead of God the almighty.

All this work makes me Just Praise God.  I managed to make my sister finish her Primary school and I begged well wishes in the Church and managed to pay for her High School fees.  She Just finished her high school last year and now she is with me here.  I just live in a house that I rent, which I am really facing hard times to pay.  I am married now and I have my family.  I am facing hardship due to the poverty situation I am going through.  Here it is hard for me to even get food, clothes and a place to lay my head.  Life is very frustrating for my family and I.  Just imagine, I only have three articles of clothing, the same for my wife and for our child, my sister is just surviving with four articles of clothing.  Here, to get food is not easy.  I am only surviving on water and porridge of millet.  My wife's parents want to take her back saying that I can not take care of their daughter,  because I have not even paid our customary dowry.  My Wife might leave me anytime .

I Trust God for all this hardship I am facing, I know that In His Treasure He has a lot for me and I do not want to worship money, because many Churches are here in Kenya from western countries which have taken our poverty situation as our weakness so they are making people to worship Satan for money.  I do not want to do that, but wait upon our Lord for His Great Provision which I believe will be soon.  My Ministry now is to reach Orphans, the poor and the suffering in Kenya.

May all Praise be to God.
