At the age of 26, I came to know Jesus in Singapore, embarking on a spiritual journey. Despite the many evangelistic events and pastoral encouragement I received, I was initially unclear about God's calling for me. Five years later, as my focus shifted to family and career, I gradually drifted away from God. Yet, God never gave up on me. He continued to call me back with His love, sending the same message through three different pastors: "God loves you, and He wants to use you." I was filled with fear and insecurity, feeling unworthy, but God persistently knocked on the door of my heart until I decided to respond to His call.
Though I reignited my passion for serving, I faced severe misunderstandings and injustices in the church. I was labeled, sidelined, and even unfairly criticized by pastors. At a time when I longed to give my life fully to God, I encountered great adversity, leading me into deep pain and struggle. I endured nine months of sleepless nights, filled with bitterness and despair, crying out to God daily for His mercy and help.
By God's grace and faithfulness, He led me to GA Church through a sister named Fenna. When I arrived at GA, God encouraged me through my leader, Pr Aaliyah, and guided me to enroll in the 611OLI. God had already prepared a path for my restoration—the 611 Online Leadership Institute.
Through the courses at the 611OLI, especially the "Tree of Life" course, God began to heal my broken life, restoring me to His presence. He healed my past wounds and shame, mending my relationship with Him and with others. In the "Contemplating Christ" and "Healing and Deliverance" courses, God healed deep-rooted emotional scars and taught me to view myself, others, and God through His perspective. The School not only helped me rediscover my spiritual passion but also revealed my calling and destiny—to be an intercessor and evangelist.
I am grateful to God for using the 611OLI to show me that He has been shaping me, just as a potter molds clay. He used my brokenness as the building blocks for my restored life, turning my shattered pieces into hope and direction. Whether on the mountain top or in the valley, God has always been with me, guiding me towards my destiny and making me a vessel fit for His use.
I am deeply convinced that the 611OLI is a place where God equips each of His children. Here, I experienced the rebuilding of my life, found my true self, and became more grounded in God's calling and purpose. May God continue to use this School to help others who, like me, were once lost and broken, to find new life and hope.
