Grace and peace to you all. My name is Sinesipho from South Africa. I want to thank God for giving me this opportunity to share my testimony. In 2024, I started my first year at the University of Pretoria studying accounting. When the year started, I did not have funding, but around April, I received a bursary. Although it arrived late, I was happy and grateful to God. I thanked Jesus Christ because I knew it was only by His grace. As the year progressed, I began struggling with one module. It was very difficult for me. I tried my best, but things were not going well. I continued attending God’s Heart TV Interactive Prayer Services, and I also submitted a prayer request. I prayed and asked God to help me. To qualify to write the exam, I needed 40%. I was sitting at around 36%. It was very stressful, but by the grace of God, I managed to achieve exactly 40% and qualified to write the exam in November. However, I did not pass the exam; I failed that module. I was very disappointed. Because I failed one module, I lost my bursary. My parents then paid for my studies. I was repeating that one module while continuing with my other modules.
Even though things were hard, I did not stop praying. I continued attending God’s Heart TV Interactive Prayer Services. I continued thanking God for the opportunity He gave me in my first year, even though I had lost the bursary. I thanked Him because it showed me that God listens to prayers, and I believed that He could do it again. During this time, my relationship with God grew stronger. My mother and I started praying together every day, trusting God. As time went on, I started losing hope. I stopped applying for many bursaries. I applied to only a few, and even then, I did not believe anything would happen. I thought no company would give me a bursary because I had failed a module and because my marks were not high enough.
In 2025, my parents paid for the entire year. When 2026 arrived, it was time to register again. My mother paid the registration fee and one month of accommodation. When I saw the proof of payment, I started calculating the costs for the year, and it was very daunting. However, I still prayed and asked God for a miracle, even though I did not expect one. I had hope, but no expectation.
Then, something amazing happened. On the day my mother made the first payment for registration and accommodation, I received a phone call from an office number. A lady told me she was calling from a company and asked what year I was in. She then asked if I still needed funding. I suddenly remembered that I had applied to that company the previous year. I became very excited and said, ‘Yes, I still need funding’. She then told me to prepare for an interview the next day. I was so happy; I thanked God. My family were full of joy.
Before the interview, we prayed a lot. I was very nervous, as it was my first interview ever. When I entered the interview, they began asking me questions. I felt nervous and, honestly, I did not feel fully prepared. But God was with me. He held my hand every step of the way, and I was able to answer the questions. On Friday of that week, I received an acceptance letter from the bursary. Today, I am fully funded. My school fees and accommodation will be paid. I will receive a general allowance and a book allowance. On top of that, the bursary also offered me a job after I finish my studies. I am currently employed, and they are waiting for me to graduate.
I thank God for answered prayers. I thank Him for showing up for me again and again. It can only be Jesus Christ! All glory and honour belong to Jesus Christ. Thank you, Brother Chris, and the God’s Heart TV team for praying on my behalf.
