MY LIFE IN LIONS CAVES


People talk about sex matters everywhere; at home, school, in the streets, the media and mostly, in social media platforms, but how many people stand out to preach against prostitution from their past experiences?

A Kenyan lady, Rahab Omunzi has broken the chains of the obvious and has stood out to fight for the beauties held in the black caves of sexual immorality. She was just like any other commercial sex worker in Nairobi fighting for survival. With 11 years in this business introduced to her by a first liner in church, Rahab straggled living in the terrible harsh condition falling under beds of several men, of different caliber in the name of trying to solve the problems she was facing.


“Man passes through ups and downs and sometimes you question if really God is with you because when you look at the situations at times God seems like He’s not there but I came to realize that if He has marked you, He will do anything to get your attention”, She states. She attended churches but her dressing code and make up made her chased out of the congregation. “People judge and want to back-stab you from who you were. I was a sex worker and addict .I have a scar on my tooth a mark left due to drug addiction”.


There’s a beginning and an end to everything, Rahabs’ revelations towards prostitution had finally come and it was time for a turn around. She began getting thirsty for something else other than getting paid by rogue men to sell her body. In her confident and jovial aura, you can never tell she’s been to dark alleys and abandoned valleys.


“I was high when I was getting saved and had tried everything apart from God” Rahab says adding that before you judge a book by its cover, get to know why. During an interview at N TVs’ CROSSOVER 101, this is what she advised; “From the mess, God has qualified us to talk to the people. Ignorance is not a defense, take back your life by force, only God knows who you are. If I made it out, then anyone else can”.


She’s a perfect replica of a life changer being a pastor and spreading it all around with her initiative Stop Sex Slavery in Africa. As I close, I believe that the greatest gift you can give to someone is your time, attention, love and concern, Rahab has done it already. May you see her life a strong string to connect the lives of the lost and rescue them rather than gossiping and kicking them with words.
