Becoming a pastor, counsellor, teacher and journalist are among the best things that have happened to Terrence Esseboom, 61, who says his training in these areas have helped him to steer others to get on the right path in life.
“Today they are successful in their careers. People don’t know their story. People would come and wake me up at midnight because they are on the verge of a break up. I have to get out of bed and counsel two people at war. Today, more than 10 or 15 years later, they are still together. You make a lot of sacrifices but it is part of the calling. Our principle is not to let your right hand know what your left hand does. You don’t talk about what you do. That’s it,” Esseboom says.
In an interview with Stabroek Weekend, Esseboom related how he joined his church, Light of Lights New Testament Church of God in Norton Street, Wortmanville, when he was 18 years old. He has been pastoring for 37 years at the same church he joined as a youth.
