Brother Mayeso Njovu - Assistant Office Manager
I was raised in a Message believing home by very strict parents. They received the Message of the hour when I was about 4 years old; before which they were dedicated Catholics. We lived in a neighborhood of many Message believers and we kids went to the same schools, and mostly classmates.
My life changed when at fourteen, I went away to a boy’s only boarding high school. There I met lots of different kids and a very different environment from the community of Message believers back home.
I slackened in my commitment to worship and was increasingly rarely in fellowship with believers in that town, preferring the company of my new found ‘cool’ friends instead. I was now exposed to worldly music.
This behavior was to continue till my freshman year of university, toward the end, when one day a couple of brothers, also students, knocked on my door. Apparently, I unknowingly was classmates with a Message believer who heard about my beliefs (I was never shy of declaring my belief even though I kept wrong company and never went to fellowship). It was through that classmate that my ‘visitors’ discovered me.
After their visit, I became embarrassed with my behavior and decided to attend fellowship for the first time in several months. I remember worrying about maintaining my friends and the love of worldly music; but I kept going to church, albeit not regularly at first. Things really changed after making friends with my fellow youths in the church. Because of that experience, I believe up to now, that if many wayward youths are given opportunity to mingle freely in fellowship without condemnation, it helps a great deal in their journey to rediscover themselves.
Today, I don’t even know how and when those interests faded. I cannot explain how, without any effort, my company changed; but I’m sure glad I went to fellowship that day.
I began visiting the VGR Library regularly, reading and developing interest in their operations, and eventually helping out when an extra hand was needed. It’s been a few years now and looking back, VGR has given me a purpose that I am proud of. I am very grateful to the entire VGR family and Br Ronnie Kapisha for giving me a chance to be here. There’s no workplace on earth like VGR. I am more passionate about the Message and seeing that people’s lives are transformed, youths turned from ‘worldlism’, and just being in fellowship with this great family of Message believers.
Looking forward, I’m resolved to continue encouraging young people and their parents of their position and responsibilities in this great economy of the Bride of our Lord Jesus Christ. I’m resolved to continue helping that people receive the Message of the hour in the language that they can understand.
I love the Voice of God Recordings. I love the work going on. I love the people at VGR. By the grace of our Lord, I wish to continue right here, working harder, becoming a better Christian and becoming a blessing to the saints.
Thank you all and may the Lord Jesus bless you.
