‎Joyce Okwori-peter‎ --MATCH 2019

I embarked on this journey 3+ years ago, never knowing all what was ahead of me(good I didn’t know anyway).
I’ve been tossed to the hills and valleys but God’s grace kept me.
I started as a wife, now a mother of two angels(interviewed while 23 and 35wks pregnant). Am stronger, wiser and more courageous.
I don’t deserve it by my credentials but Mercy found me.

MRCS PART A – EXPERIENCE
