I grew up in the city with my parents in a home where faith and family were important. My childhood was full of simple joys and new experiences. I met Jesus during a hard time in my life when I felt lost and unsure. Through a message I heard, I felt Him calling me. That moment changed how I see everything. I realized God had never left me, even when I wasn’t close to Him.

I found Young Life through my brother. I didn’t know much about it at first, but I was touched by the kindness and joy in the group. It quickly became a place where I could grow, make friends, and feel encouraged. Now, I serve in WyldLife, helping younger students know God’s love.

I’m studying Accounting at Catholic University of West Africa as a Developing Global Leader and am the first in my family to attend college. I want to grow in my faith and finish my studies with discipline and purpose. My dream is to be a leader who listens, brings people together, and serves with love. I hope to go on a mission trip one day and be part of local outreach. More than anything, I want my life to show God’s love and truth wherever I go.
