In 2008, while at a train station in New Delhi, India, on my way to another city, I saw disadvantaged children living in precarious conditions and without protection, searching for food in the station's trash cans.

 

Few months later, God confirmed this inspiration by giving me the vision for the Ministry. Once I returned home in February 2009, I devoted all my energy to this vision.

 

However, it was in August 2010, I founded the Ministry named God's Amazing Grace, a ministry whose mission was to help orphans, street children, and all disadvantaged children in Chad

 

The non-profit organization, authorized to operate throughout Chad by the Chadian Government on August 23, 2010, has helped over 50 vulnerable children (orphans and children living in the street).

 

Six years later, in 2016, we changed the name of the Ministry to "Maison des Orphelins et des Enfants de la rue du Tchad" (House for Orphans and Street Children of Chad); to learn more about this organization, please visit our Facebook page. I was passionate about this Mission, and it became the center of my life.

 

When I received the interview letter from the U.S. immigration service, I considered declining it for several reasons linked to my personal convictions. But before reaching a conclusion, I took time before God, fasting and praying. 

 

The Lord has clearly told me that He is sending me to the USA for a specific Mission: The passage He gave me is Ezekiel 17:22-24 "Thus says the Lord God: “I will take also one of the highest branches of the high cedar and set it out. I will crop off from the topmost of its young twigs a tender one and will plant it on a high and prominent mountain. On the mountain height of Israel I will plant it; and it will bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a majestic cedar. Under it will dwell birds of every sort; in the shadow of its branches they will dwell. And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the Lord, have brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree, dried up the green tree and made the dry tree flourish; I, the Lord, have spoken and have done it.”. 

​

Through this passage, the Lord God spoke to me, saying that He would take me as "nobody" and plant me on a “high and prominent mountain” (USA); where I would become "somebody" (a great green Tree), I “will bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a majestic cedar” (a Ministry); In my shade, birds of different kinds will dwell (be a source of blessing to beneficiaries without being limited by borders, skin color, or any other affiliation).

 

That is how I changed my mind and agreed to go to Yaoundé, Cameroon, for the interview on October 30, 2024.

 

God made it possible as He promised; the visas were granted to me on January 27, 2025, and my nine-year-old daughter on January 29, 2025. When we arrived in the United States of America on February 7, 2024, my whole being was focused on this Mission, but I didn't know when or how to begin. 

 

A few months later, on October 24, 2025, I felt compelled to go before God in prayer and fasting. The conclusion of my encounter with God that day was clear: the time had been right to start the Ministry.

 

Although I was limited in many ways, God wasn't. By faith I obeyed and that same night I contacted LegalZoom and created the Ministry called: Rescue for Life International/Christian Ministry Corporation. After only a few days, by the grace of God, the Non-profit Organization was officially established in Maryland, USA.

 

MAY THE LORD, THE LIVING AND FAITHFUL GOD ALONE BE GLORIFIED.

 

I received the call from God, I obeyed, and the Lord Himself will take care of the rest. The good news: “I, the Lord, have spoken and have done it.​

Founder & President

Vivimos en un mundo donde cada vez menos mujeres y niños en necesidad reciben amor y ayuda, mientras que su situación empeora cada vez más. Muchos lloran en silencio, y nadie está ahí para enjugar sus lágrimas. Como cristianos, siervos de Dios Todopoderoso, tenemos el mandato de contribuir para devolverles la sonrisa. Me conmueve especialmente este fenómeno, que ocurre en muchas partes del mundo. Queremos unir nuestros esfuerzos a los del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos y a los de todas las demás organizaciones por esta noble causa.
