"I became a Christian on 12th November 2008 at Yapton Free Church. "I had a hard start in life.  Put in a children's home before I was two years of age.  When I was twelve, someone did something to me which caused the down hill ski-ride in my life.  A crash course in destroying myself.  I went to prison twice through drinking and drugs.  I went through job to job and home to home as well as being homeless quite a few times.  The last time I was homeless was when I slept behind the Olive Branch Pub in Yapton.  "One Sunday morning I awoke behind the Olive Branch Pub which was a closed pub.  I found 3/4 of a bottle of Samburca from the night before.  So I downed the bottle at 10:30 in the morning and then decided to go for a walk and ended up at Yapton Free Church, talking to the leader, Hugo van Driel. The other leader, Gerald prayed for me in church that morning.  After they prayed for me I felt strange.  Not drunk strange - a completely different feeling.  "I then started to go on the Alpha Course.  Not long after that I became a Christian because the Lord saved me and now I love to praise the Father.  Amen!  "Thank you Lord for saving me."
