My name is Sonia Bynoe, I was raised in a religious family. I did not attend church regularly, but I always said I believed in God but I did not have a relationship with God.
God came and got me one Saturday evening and my life changed that night. My cousin came over to my house, you see I was a person who really enjoyed music, I would watch MTV and I knew all the latest songs. My cousin went on to tell me about various music artists, and that how some of them are worshiping the devil, and the images that they are showing us and the lyrics they are singing were not good.
Straight away I got scared, I felt upset that the music I enjoyed could be against God. I had such an overwhelming feeling of fear that I could not shake. I wondered how could I look after my two sons, how am I going to protect them and bring them up in the right way. The only place I knew I would feel safe and that was at a church. I felt I was in darkness and in the distance I could see a light that I just wanted to go towards. I needed God in my life. I attended a church near to where I was living, but it did not have a Sunday School and I felt how would I teach my sons if I knew nothing much about God.
I also attended a friends church and I accepted God into my life. I was happy, but my knowledge was little and I had so many questions I needed answers too. Then I was introduced to this church by a friend, and I came and I was welcomed. I attended bible studies with Pastor Maria, and so many questions were answered. I learnt things about God that blew my mind such as God loves me and accepts me for who I am. I now know if God is on our side who shall we fear. I feel a new sense of confidence and I never want to go back to how my life was before, because my life would be empty without God.
It is important for me to get baptised because I want to show God my love for him and that I want to follow his word for the rest of my life. I will continue to pray and read God’s word, spending time with him, which will help me grow to love God more.
