Since 1996, I had been struggling deeply with depression and anxiety. I drank alcohol and took drugs to try to escape from my pains. When I cried out to the Lord for help, I felt led to go to college. I was twenty-seven years old then.

I continued to drink and do drugs till the night before I left for college. I told God that I would dedicate my life to Him once I started school, and by His grace, I stopped taking drugs and alcohol.

I also began to attend church for the first time. However, its teachings were on the old covenant laws. I felt something was missing…that there must be more to what I had been hearing in church. I shared with others what I felt. Although no one disagreed with me, they remained silent on this issue.

Despite this, I developed a very close relationship with the Lord. I knew He was with me even though I was punishing myself for my mistakes and still suffering from depression and anxiety. Knowing this helped to soothe my pain.

Twenty years later, I was listening to Trinity Broadcasting Network while washing dishes. All of a sudden, I heard an unfamiliar voice preaching God’s grace. What you said that day went straight into my spirit and my inner man leaped for JOY, JOY, JOY!

I jumped up and down shouting, “That’s it! That’s the TRUE GOSPEL!” I’d finally heard a message that brings true rest and peace. Weeping tears of joy, I fell to my knees in gratitude and relief. That very same day, my depression and anxiety left completely.

Thank you, Pastor Prince! You are truly a modern-day Paul. I wholly support you and the preaching of the gospel of grace. May God bless you and your family.
