From Loneliness to Legacy: My ScriptFit Journey
Before moving to the Middle East, six years after losing my best friend, I was still drowning in grief. My best friend the person who had always been my rock was gone.
I vividly remember our late-night drives and calls, filled with laughter, and moving on felt like erasing those precious memories; how could I let go without feeling like I had failed him?
At times, I questioned if I even had the strength to keep going.
Adding to my grief, a deep loneliness settled in. Past relationships had ended, leaving a void that no amount of distraction could fill. I felt an emptiness that no amount of distraction could fill.
I desperately wanted to heal, but the pain persisted. So, I made the bold decision to leave everything behind and move to the Middle East, hoping for a fresh start.
While I sought financial stability, what I didn’t realise was that I was also about to embark on a deep spiritual and emotional healing journey.
A Divine Encounter in the Desert
In the scorching 40-degree heat of the Middle East, after 30 days of prayer and fasting, everything changed. I cried out to God for answers for clarity, for healing - and I heard His voice: ScriptFit.
I asked, “Lord, what is that?”
And He answered:
"You will help make My people be scripturally fit, for they are perishing due to lack of knowledge."
In that moment, everything became crystal clear. God was calling me to something bigger than myself. This wasn’t just about my personal healing anymore—it was about helping others find healing through His Word.
The Birth of ScriptFit International
In 2012, I founded ScriptFit International Limited, a Health and Fitness Ministry built on the foundation of God’s Word.
Why “ScriptFit”?
📖 Script: Provides carefully considered details for a plan of action, rooted in God's wisdom.
💪 Fit: To be in good condition, solid and strong, both physically and spiritually.
This ministry was founded on three areas:
✔ Teaching Biblical health principles
✔ Ministering to the body of Christ through health and fitness
✔ Glorifying God in body, soul, and spirit
The verse from 3 John 1:2 resonated deeply: "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." I knew then that ScriptFit was more than a fitness program—it was a God-given mission.
The External Struggle: Leaving a Career Behind
Pursuing this vision demanded significant sacrifices.
Pursuing this vision demanded significant sacrifices. I had a well-paying job in the Middle East, providing financial security. But to fully commit to ScriptFit, I had to walk away from that stability.
This meant returning home and moving back in with my parents—a humbling experience that left me feeling like I had lost my independence. I also had to accept a lower-paying position.
The financial struggle was real, but even more challenging was the internal conflict. I'd left my comfort zone to follow God’s calling, yet at times, I felt like I was moving backward, not forward.
The Turning Point: Embracing the Calling
Despite the challenges, the vision God had given me never wavered.
I realised that true healing—spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically—wasn’t just about waiting for time to pass or hoping for a breakthrough. It required intentional action. If God had given me this mission, I needed to be a faithful steward.
That’s when I fully committed to learning everything I could about Biblical health.
✔ I enrolled in recognised health courses.
✔ I studied ministry to integrate my faith into my approach.
✔ I gained hands-on experience through various health and wellness roles
✔ I built a deep understanding of managing lifestyle and complex health issues.
This wasn’t just about theory—I was actively applying Biblical health principles in real-world situations.
Through this process, I gained invaluable experience working with people facing lifestyle challenges and complex health conditions, all while refining the ScriptFit approach. This allowed me to develop practical, faith-based health solutions that were both effective and spiritually enriching.
But not everyone understood this vision.
The Conflict: Facing Doubts and Scepticism
As I shared ScriptFit and my knowledge with others, I encountered scepticism. People questioned the connection between faith and health, asking:
"Why Christians?"
"Why should faith and health be connected?" they asked.
"Isn’t fitness just about exercise and diet?"
Self-doubt crept in. Was I truly qualified? Had I correctly heard God's voice? What if I failed others as I felt I had failed my best friend?
But in those moments of doubt, God's reminder echoed in my heart: “I don’t call the qualified. I qualify the called.” I knew this mission wasn’t about me; it was about obedience. So I pressed on.
The Mission: Glorifying God in Body and Spirit
Over time, I realised that Christians needed more than just health tips; they needed a supportive space to learn and grow together. They needed a community dedicated to Scriptural health—free from judgment, compromise, and confusion.

That's how, in 2024, the ScriptFit Health Academy was born. We created a platform with guides, courses, coaching, and a private community designed to help Christians flourish in health, guided by God’s Word. Our mission: to empower Christians with Biblical health principles for abundant, purpose-filled living.
It's not just about diet and exercise; it's about understanding that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). When we nourish ourselves physically and spiritually, we live out God's purpose with strength and vitality. Caring for the body means addressing both tension and movement. Stretching is a powerful way to release stress and strengthen your connection to God. Discover 10 Benefits of Stretching That Can Improve Your Health
The Transformation: From Pain to Purpose
Looking back, I see how God used my deepest pain to shape my greatest mission. And through ScriptFit and ScriptFit Health Academy, I’ve not only found healing and purpose but have also helped countless others do the same.
I no longer fear preventable health issues. Instead, I focus on empowering others with Christian wellness using Biblical health strategies to live vibrant, purpose-filled lives.
Every day, I wake up knowing I'm fulfilling God's calling—helping others succeed in their health journeys while glorifying Him. This journey has always been about honouring God in spirit, soul, and body, equipping His people with knowledge and transforming lives—one believer at a time.
