Testimony of Joshua Botha

I Every journey begins with a single step. I started my first few steps in my walk with Jesus at Alon. My name is Joshua Botha and as a result of my learning problems, I attended nine different schools before I came to Blue Mountain College. I’ve always had a mountain to climb because my learning problems have always challenged my capability to succeed in life. Two weeks before I arrived at Alon, I asked Jesus, “What is the point to life, I feel lost.” And I was lost, completely lost but I carried on with the dullness of everyday life. Two weeks later, I found myself gazing at the large gates of Alon and that was the beginning of my walk with Jesus. I can look back to all the times that I learned how to calculate a quadratic equation or to understand that I had something of value. More importantly, I learned that people come first and the only way to become a better person is through Jesus Christ. My journey as a student at Alon farm has prepared me for the future and I am forever grateful. I would personally like to thank Jeanette Botes for helping me and guiding me as well as educating me through my three years at Blue Mountain College. |
