“Greetings to you Brother Chris, the God’s Heart TV Team, and to everyone reading this testimony. My name is Simon from Malawi. I came to God’s Heart TV in tears, burdened and weary, but today I return with tears of joy and deep gratitude. I completed college three years ago and was full of hope, believing my life was about to change for the better. However, life took an unexpected direction. I applied for countless jobs, expecting that at least one company would call me, even for a locum or volunteer position. To my disappointment, not a single organisation reached out. I struggled for an entire year before finally securing a locum job. As every Malawian health professional knows, it is extremely difficult to survive on locum work alone, and being a locum often attracts rejection and disrespect from colleagues. Meanwhile, all my classmates – whom I had attended interviews with – were recruited by the government. I was always left out. Even students who were far behind me in school graduated and obtained permanent positions. The shame and frustration were unbearable. My financial situation worsened. Many days I slept hungry, and I eventually had to move in with my aunt. I survived by borrowing money from friends and relatives until some stopped answering my calls. I understood them – people get tired. But the shame I experienced daily was overwhelming.
“Despite being a prayer warrior who fasts and prays earnestly, nothing seemed to change. Men of God prayed for me, but there was no breakthrough. I gave tithes and seeds, yet everything remained silent. Some servants of God even seemed to give up on me, which only deepened my pain. I was emotionally drained and spiritually exhausted. I even had a dream indicating that someone had cursed me in childhood so that I would never find fulfilment. I continued praying, fasting, and reading the Bible, not because I felt inspired, but because I had become accustomed to it. I held onto hope only by the grace of God. Reaching this far, I had applied for more than 250 plus vacancies including those online and international. That’s where I lost count. But God had a special plan for my life.
“One day, while scrolling through YouTube, I came across a video from God’s Heart TV. I intended to skip it, but something led me into the comment section where I found a link to submit a prayer request for the Interactive Prayer Service. I sent my prayer request, and that same week I received an invitation. I felt so honoured. I participated that first month, and during the second service I joined which was an Encouragement Service, Brother Chris instructed participants to send questions through email. I had no question, only a special prayer request. I submitted it, hoping but not expecting a response. To my surprise, God’s Heart TV replied and scheduled me for a one-on-one call with Brother Chris. I was overwhelmed. On August 12, the man of God called me. When I saw the call, I began trembling and sweating. It felt unreal. Brother Chris spoke to me with such kindness and compassion that I felt valued and loved. I had tears in my eyes as he encouraged me and prayed for me for 18 to 20 minutes. I wondered, ‘How can a man of God spend this much time with me when he ministers to people all over the world?’
“Two months later, I received a call from an international organisation inviting me for an interview. I went in with confidence, believing that God had finally opened my doors. And today, I received a job offer – with a salary far beyond what is normally expected for someone of my grade. My heart is overflowing with gratitude for what the Lord has done. May God receive all the glory, thanks, and praise. I thank Brother Chris for his love and kindness. I thank the entire God’s Heart TV team for their dedication. After three years of struggle and shame, Jesus has wiped away my tears and restored my honour. My life will never be the same again!”
