A meaningless life
The death of Ntombifuthi’s father death deeply affected her since they had a close relationship. As a result, she made some poor choices. Sometimes she did not sleep at home. She fell pregnant at the age of 19 and subsequently dropped out of school. Faced with overwhelming challenges, she attempted to end her life by overdosing on tablets.
Her brother, who was aware of her struggles, encouraged her to attend services in the Universal Church. She also participated in the chains of prayers in the Holy Ground, including Fridays for deliverance.
“Gradually, God is transforming my life. I firmly believe that God will continue to guide and bless me even more in my life,” said Ntombifuthi.
