I am a banker. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce Honours degree in Finance from the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) and a Master of Business Administration in Leadership and Management (MBALM) from NUST. I also hold an Institute of Bankers Zimbabwe (IOBZ) diploma. I am a level 5 Chinese language student.

What I Am Writing About and My Motivation

I am writing about Agape: Experience the Dimensions of God’s Love.

I am a believer who is passionate about my relationship with God and the love of God towards mankind. My desire is for people to understand how much God loves them and to live their daily lives from that understanding.

Did I Encounter Writer’s Block?

Yes, I encountered writer’s block. I managed to overcome it by taking small walks, as well as resting from book writing briefly. When I returned, more and new ideas would pop up.

How I Handled Feedback During the Writing Class Journey

Feedback has been an integral part of this book writing journey. It helped me shape the direction of the manuscript better, as well as refine the work to become a better read. I loved the feedback.

How I Prioritised My Writing Journey and Other Commitments

Book writing was in the top two priorities, daily devotion being first.

My Experience in the Jade Writing Class

The Jade Writing Class was outstandingly beneficial to me. It helped me start a journey that I had always been hesitant to start.

I would definitely recommend more people to join the writing class, as well as come back for a second round myself.

A Word for Aspiring Writers and Beginning Authors

Take the first step and leave the rest to God.

Closing Reflection

My writing journey is a beautiful reminder that obedience often begins with one simple step. Through the Jade Writing Class, I found the encouragement, structure, and support to begin a book that carries a powerful message about the love of God. My testimony encourages every aspiring writer to trust God with the process, receive guidance with humility, and keep moving forward in faith.

During the ceremony, each writer shared their writing journey, the inspiration behind their book, and the lessons learnt through the mentorship process. The event also highlighted CLC Kenya’s wider mission of advancing the gospel through Christian literature, a mission connected to CLC’s global work across 44 countries.

The CLC Kenya’s Writing Class has continued to grow since its beginning in 2020, raising writers who are not only completing manuscripts but also preparing to publish books that will serve families, churches, communities, and nations.

The 2026 graduating writers were encouraged to move forward into the publishing and marketing phase, with the hope of celebrating their published works in 2027 with an in-person graduation set for 28th November 2026 at Garden Estate.

As the session closed in prayer and thanksgiving, the charge was clear: graduation is not the end of the journey, but the beginning of greater stewardship. These writers carry stories, testimonies, teachings, and messages that can impact Africa and beyond.
