I grew up at CityLife Church but I stopped attending when
I was about 12 years old. Until the middle of 2023 I was left to my own
devices. I ended up working for an Only Fans agency and my full-time job was to
sell porn. I was addicted to smoking, drinking and had a drug problem too, I
couldn't not take substances when I went out and when I did, I couldn't stop.
Through the grace of God he called me back to church. I reached out to City
Life to do some volunteering, and met Racquel. She told me to come to the
service which was running that weekend. It was Melinda Tankard Reist who was
speaking. At the end of the service, I ran down to her and told her my current
work situation, we had lunch together. By the following Friday I left the
agency. A few months later, I was sober and baptised. And I now go to schools
and speak on my experiences working at the agency and the dangers of social
media, porn and this over sexualised world we live in. I am forever thankful to
my Church for being a part of the reason why I am alive today, and so grateful
to Jesus for pulling me out of the gutter, giving my life hope and meaning
again and I just truly want to spend the rest of my days saving people who were
in the same life as me and forever giving all the glory to God for the miracle
he did in my life.
