Rose's Relationship with Jesus

My name is Rose Fondamiere and I have a testimony about God's grace and goodness in my life. I am 20 years old, and I'm a born again Christian.

I gave my life to Jesus when I was 13 years old. I was born in Tanzania but I currently live in Seychelles.

Facing Challenges

Over the years I have faced many challenges in life, especially as a young adult. It's not easy to walk a Christian life when your world is exposed to so many ungodly activities such as sex outside of marriage, drugs, porn, family problems, loneliness, poverty, and more. But, as I grow in my Christian faith, God helps me conquer many of these things.

I just want to encourage other young ones like myself out there. Life is not about the problems you face; it's about your relationship with Jesus.

God is Bigger Than My Problems

I'm not problem free, nor am I perfect, but my God is bigger than all those things. And it doesn't matter what people think or say, because nothing can remove us from the love of God, and nothing can change what God thinks or plans for us.

All we must do is be strong and trust in him. One day the storms will end. Even now, we can know that God is for us and not against us.
