His had a big problem with anger and hatred. His father had four wives and he was fighting with siblings from other wives. He can say looking back, God protected him from being shot in the village on many occasions and raised him up for His true calling. His family even now are upset by him attending church. They even created so many problems for the church in Maloney. After a few years he became the assistant pastor to Pastor Kharlo. The people in Machar were seeking God and asking for a church because they were witnessing what was happening in Maloney churches.
