When I started Destiny College International (DCI) in 2025, it was through the leading of the Holy Spirit. I carried such a strong burden in my heart that I could not sleep for two months. Just two days before classes started, I finally signed up. I was terrified when I saw all the books, the tests, and the thought that one day I would have to write my own book. But I took that step of faith, trusting God to lead me.
Before DCI, I thought I knew a lot about business, leadership, and Biblical principles. However, DCI opened my eyes to how much I still needed to learn, not only about the Word of God but also about myself and my character. As an Afrikaans speaking person, studying in English was a huge challenge. The big words and assignments sometimes made me doubt myself. But I refused to give up. Today, I can honestly say that my English has improved by approximately 70%. DCI has taught me discipline, perseverance, and the importance of continuous growth.
The teachings of Dr Viv, Dr Charmaine, and the other lecturers have strengthened my hunger for God's Word and encouraged me to keep learning. DCI is more than a class we attend every Monday we are a family who support, encourage, and help one another grow...
I am so grateful to Dr Viv and Dr Charmaine for the time, wisdom, and encouragement they have invested in my life. Thank you for reminding me never to give up.
My journey has taught me that we do not have to be perfect or know everything when we begin. We simply need to take that step of faith, remain teachable, and allow God to work in us. I started DCI feeling terrified, but today I can look back with gratitude and see how far God has brought me. And I know this is only the beginning!
