Eddie, a family man, grew up in a family of nine siblings and Suzan, grew up with so much worries about her mother. This couple from two different backgrounds, lifestyles and family traditions, together, have built a beautiful family and this is their story……

Suzan’s childhood was marked by hardship and responsibility beyond her age. Enslaved in generational bondages, disowned and struggling with acceptance, she still spent her childhood taking care of her mother who was always sick. She did not grow up with parental guidance and no one around her ever tasted the sweetness of a blessed family. Suzan struggled through school and with fees even though she was brilliant.

While struggling to balance up life, she met a man who paid fees but with an intention to marry her. She was married and studying at the same time.

“I had no home, and this man was my shelter” Suzan narrates her ordeal.

She became pregnant at 20 and she quotes; “I needed nurturing, but I also had children who needed nurturing”

The marriage turned out to be abusive. In the days that followed, she lost her home and was stranded with two children. Despite the adversity and the missing parental guidance, Suzan showed remarkable strength and determination to cater for herself and her family, even though she had her own needs.

She later got a job, and that was where she met her husband; Eddie, who became the total opposite of her past.

Eddie’s story is one of overcoming personal struggles and finding redemption through faith. Despite his upbringing and battles with alcohol addiction, he found solace and support in the love of his wife. He walked miles from a life of alcoholism and despair to one of purpose and devotion, by the Grace of God.

Eddie was born in a family of nine siblings and raised by a single father. His father was overwhelmed with responsibility, and unfortunately his children had picked up bad habits. Eddie started drinking alcohol, smoking, and sneaking out of school.

Eddie reformed and worked very hard after strong warnings from school authorities, after which he got a job and was able to pay fees for his children. However, he went back to living the alcohol lifestyle which came multiple relationships so unfortunately his strength amounted to nothing.

He started up a tours and travel company but it faced lots of unforeseen challenges. He suddenly lost his brother who was also his partner. Everything around his brother’s death revolved around alcohol and their lifestyle. Soon after, Eddie got into a state of depression and heavy drinking. In the next few days, he got into an accident but shortly after this incident, he met a friend who kept talking to him about his drinking…. THIS FRIEND TURNED OUT TO BE HIS WIFE……At this point, they were still living in a state of scarcity…but this was his turning point.

“That friend was praying from Holy City, and she had a lot of pictures of Bro. Ronnie, and kept talking to him about his habits. I kept asking myself, how come she has a lot of pictures of her pastor? In addition, she always had items like holy water.” Eddie happily tells his story.

His wife from time to time, casually told him… “The day you taste on this Holy water, you will stop drinking alcohol”

One Thursday, Eddie offered to drop his wife at Holy City Salama for disciples’ fellowship service, and she showed him her church. As he was turning the car, he stopped for a second, and felt an unfamiliar spirit but he drove to his work place. In the days that followed, he kept thinking about the spirit that he felt.

On Sunday that week, a thought came into his head, and he drove to Holy City Entebbe for the first time to be part of the thanksgiving service.

There were so many engaging and faith building activities at church, and in a few hours, Bro. Ronnie Makabai-The Fireman joined the service and the energy was amazing. Bro. Ronnie Makabai preached, and Eddie’s heart was convinced to join the family of God loving people.

The couple decided to participate in partnering in God’s work, with the zeal to take the Gospel to the four corners of the earth. Through that, God built for them, increased them and made the process smooth. Suzan had Holy water, so she used it to anoint the foundation of the house they were planning to build and prayed in faith saying; “God of Bro. Ronnie, this land that you have brought us to today, we claim it in the spirit. Please provide the finances.” She did an act of righteousness and God indeed bought that land.

A prayer room was their priority, so they built one and they kept using it and praying in faith even before the house was complete.

They beautiful couple got officially married in 2017, and the Lord has been good from the time they encountered Him at Holy City Entebbe. Today, Eddie testifies about how God has opened great paths for them.

The generosity of the partners of Ark TV and Christ FM is never in vain.

The Kiryas have been watered and enriched, and they have enjoyed the blessings of multiplication, righteous marriage, and financial breakthrough. Through their partnership with the Gospel in faith and commitment to spreading the Gospel, they found not only spiritual fulfillment but also material blessings beyond measure.

“When you partner with Ark TV, God impacts on each and everything that you do” Eddie shares in his testimony.

Their story is a revelation of God’s love that heals wounds, mends brokenness, and transforms lives. Today, the beautiful family celebrates the goodness and mercy of the Lord. Partnership is the way to go!
