JOHN MOROKA’S TESTIMONY

I. Childhood and life
before Christ:

I was born in Elissras, South Africa. My mum is Esther, 38 years old, and my step father William, 32. My real father was Thomas, who passed away in 2005. In 2010 my step father told me that he was not going to provide food for me anymore.   There was no love, protection and hope at home.

I stole my father R300 and decided to find a better life in the city of Pretoria. I quickly discover that life in the city was not as I imagined.

I was homeless, jobless and had no food. Overnight I became a street kid and I had to learn how to survive.  

I started distributing some flyers from Monday to Saturdays and got paid 350 for that.

Together with my two friend, whom also distributed flyer with me. We could rent a room in one of the dilapidated buildings. After 4 months of staying at Shurbat they closed down the building.

Once again I was back on the streets sleeping in parks for almost a year.

II. Encounter with Christ, a closer walk with Him

Nyepa showed me ´The Coffee House’ on December the 14th 2011. There I started to hear the gospel and to understand about Jesus´ love for me. I stopped smoking and stealing and said to myself: “I´m tired of this life doing bad things. Let me give my life to Jesus!” One of the volunteers at ´The Coffee House´, Lassie, started to teach me there about The Bible and Jesus with different programmes by March and April 2012. I started to go to the Cornerstone church with him. Carlos one of the coffee house workers, started a discipleship road with me around July 2012 to help me understand who Jesus is, who am I and what the purpose of my life is as I learn to study the Bible.

III. Present and future with Jesus:

´The Coffee House’ leaders saw a change in my character and attitudes and valued my willingness to help. They let me started to work as a volunteer and to stay Wendy house. “I feel that I am in a new world. I´d like to learn music: how to play the guitar and the piano and to worship Jesus with instruments. Please pray for me;   One of my dream is to go for a mission training to learn how to reach out to people and know about God I´m going to a shelter. I hope I can learn there and be equipped to serve God.
