"The moment when I received my money I felt God had honored us in a big way and delivered us from trouble because right then, our child was to join Secondary school for the first time in her life, but we did not have money and had actually just sold a goat at a throw-away price to enable us raise just a little money to start her off at school while we looked for more. So, when I got a message that my money had been sent, we went to our buyer’s home to redeem our goat since we were now in a position to pay a big percentage of the school fee using the transfer. Thank you very much."
