Qhawe Maphumulo was once a drug addict but is now a caregiver, one of the best in the field! His journey to the restoration and the selfless work he is now doing, is inspiring. This is Qhawe’s story in his own words.
“I lost everything through drug addiction, immoral living, and a life of sin. I lost jobs as an enrolled nurse at both a provincial and private hospital. I lost my family’s trust and I eventually ended up living in a drug dealer’s house in a bad area in Durban.
In September 2017, I arrived at the KwaSizabantu Mission. I was admitted to its 21-day CYPSA Restoration Programme (the Concerned Young People of SA). At first, it was difficult, but after receiving prayer and confessing my sins, I could feel the heavy burden that I had carried on my shoulders for many years being lifted. I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ and now I am a new creation – a born-again Christian as the Bible speaks of in 2 Corinthians 5:17.
Currently, I am working as an enrolled nurse and have had the privilege of travelling to Swaziland and Mozambique as part of an outreach arranged by Doctors for Life International (DFL) to spread the gospel and assist with the work at a DFL clinic based in Zavora, Mozambique. I am grateful to the Lord who used CYPSA as a tool to restore my life as the Bible speaks of in the book of Joel 2:25-26.
The relationship between my mother and me has now been restored. She once attended the Easter Conference at KwaSizabantu Mission and decided to give her life to the Lord Jesus Christ after what she experienced. In part, it was also because of the change she saw take place in my life after I arrived at KwaSizabantu seeking help. My prayer is that I may follow the Lord wherever He leads me and that I will stay faithful until the final trumpet sounds.”
