I became a Christian in 1989 at Scripture Union farewell party in Kabwe. Before that, I was a very religious person. My parents came from Christian Mission Village and so we used go to Christian Mission in Many Land (CMML) in Kabwe.

I grew up in a religious family and my parents used to go Reformed Church in Zambia (RCZ), though I personally did not attend church services on a regular basis as compared to other members of the family. I grew up in the RCZ for the whole of my primary school education.
