This testimony is from Kenya:
“My name is Mary Vugutza. I am a widow with three kids. My husband died when I was pregnant with my twins. I was only 28 years old when he died. I cried my heart out and almost lost hope in life.
My first born was only four years old when my husband died. I wondered who would help me raise my children, and at that time, I did not know that I would give birth to twins.
During the time of his funeral is when we had just started the chronological lessons in church. I was in so much pain for having lost my husband and was wondering who would save me from all the pain and responsibilities of being a single mother.
My only comfort would come when I was in class listening to the Bible stories. I felt like the Israelites in slavery. I needed a Savior. As the lessons proceeded, I began to understand my problem and the solution. My fear and pain came because I did not have any relationship with God even though I attended church. The solution was to give my life to the true Savior Jesus Christ.
I went to the labor ward before giving my life to Christ. As I was admitted, I asked my pastor to give me some lessons to read while I would be in the hospital. Then, I was told that I would not have a normal delivery, and that I must have an operation. I asked God that night to prove His power with me and that if I would not be operated on, but have a safe, normal delivery, I would give my life to Him and serve Him all of my life.
God is real. Immediately after I said ‘Amen’ to my prayer, the labor pains started. Even before I could sit up on the hospital bed to call a nurse, the water broke. As I was being taken to the operating room, I asked God again, ‘Where are you now?’
Then, I heard one of the nurses calling to the others to stop, for she could see the head of one of the babies coming out. Thus, I pushed with all might just at the entrance to the operating room and delivered my twins. No surgery, and I now have these very healthy kids.
I gave my life to Christ that very moment. My pains went away. I now have a job, and am taking care of my kids even though I miss my husband.
I am at peace because of what I learned from the booklets. These booklets saved me from collapsing and following my husband. I read the stories to my colleagues in the office, and I believe God will change them as He did to me. Thank you for these chronological Lessons!”
