In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with Tapera Chivhaka, joining the program from the United Kingdom. Growing up in Africa in a religious home, Tapera was initially raised in his father's church amidst a landscape of diverse denominational traditions. Because his family faced financial hardship and could not afford school fees, Tapera's uncles took him into their care so he could receive an education. It was while living with his uncles and attending their church that Tapera began reading and studying the Bible for himself. As he immersed himself in Scripture, he recognized the contrast between inherited religious traditions and the living truth of the Gospel, leading to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and his decision to be baptized.
Tapera also shares insights on protecting his cultural identity, language, and dialect while living in the UK, reminding believers to remain grounded in who God created them to be. If you are seeking to move beyond traditional religion into a personal relationship with Christ, Tapera's story will encourage your journey!
