The problems we face can seem to shatter our hopes and dreams. But Christian Science shows that understanding the Gospel of Jesus Christ is able to change the course of our lives for the better.

In high school I struggled with a painful disease that examining physicians said had no cure. Through Christian Science I was healed within two weeks.

Growing up, I loved attending the Christian Science Sunday School, where I learned about God’s love for mankind, Jesus’ healing ministry, and Mary Baker Eddy’s discovery of the Comforter, as promised by Jesus. That experience strengthened my deep love for Christian Science and my desire to know more about man’s relationship with God and to put it into practice.

I always knew there was something special about Christian Science. From a young age, I aspired to be a full-time practitioner of this healing truth, yearning to help others experience the healing power of God and find freedom from suffering. After graduating from Stanford University with a BA in economics, I worked five years in my family’s farming and orchard business while listening and praying for next steps toward a career of Christian Science healing.

I live in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, with my wife, two daughters, a son, and nine grandchildren. I ran across Christian Science at college at a time when I was starting to doubt the usefulness of religion in life, after having attended a Christian denomination since childhood.

Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, outlined a few brief tenets, rather than a creed or doctrinal beliefs, that summarize the essential points of Christian Science, all of which are rooted in the Bible.

Christian Science was introduced to my family by my grandfather as a result of his complete healing of severe head injuries. Many healings in our family and a happy Sunday School experience followed.

I attended a commercial secondary school (1961-1968) and studied economics at a university (1969-1973). After this education, I taught mathematics for two years before being employed by a well-respected American commercial bank in Kinshasa for fourteen years.

Christian Science has always been most precious to me. I was raised in it, and I can honestly say there was never a time when I didn't think of myself as a Christian Scientist.

The Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s writings have guided me from childhood. In my teens, I toured with a musical band but always believed my lifework was to serve the Cause of Christian Science.
