I come from a humble and poor family. We are seven siblings — two sisters and five brothers. My mother was a woman of prayer, and one day she saw a divine dream from the Lord.

In the dream, she saw that her children were missing. She went to many places searching for them but could not find them. Then she ascended toward the sky and met an old man there. The old man asked her, “What are you looking for?”
She replied, “I am looking for my lost children.”

The old man walked with her and showed her some children sitting together. He asked, “Are these your children?”
She said, “No, they are not my children.”
The dream repeated again, and this time the old man showed her children whose faces were blurred as if covered with dust. He asked, “Are these your children?”
She said, “I cannot see them clearly.”
Then she recognized them and said, “Yes, they are my children.”

The old man then said to her:

> “If you give one of your children to serve Me, I will give you back the rest.”



My mother joyfully agreed and said, “Yes, I will give one child to serve You.”

Years later, when I went to Bible College to study the Word of God, my mother told me about this dream. I realized that God had chosen me according to that vision. During my time at the seminary, I faced many difficulties — even to the point that I was expelled. When I returned home, one afternoon while I was lying beside my mother, the same old man appeared again in a vision.

He said to my mother:

> “I told you that one of your children would serve Me, but you have called him back from My way.”



Then he shook my mother’s hand and disappeared. At that moment, my mother understood that this dream was truly from God and that I was the child chosen for His service.

After that, God opened the door for me again to go back to Bible College. I completed my studies, and today, by the grace of God, I am serving Him faithfully.
I thank the Lord who chose me from a poor family and set me apart for His glorious work and ministry.
