My life Story

You might think why Product Mikey2k or what is this about? It all started in 21 July 1983 the day I was born Michael-Craig Abrahms. I was born into a family with no father figure,where I had my grandmother who raise and my mother being the bread winner in the home. Life was good until I aged 7, when my mother died and went on to be with her savior Jesus Christ. This was a one of my major turning points in my life, suddenly my pillar of strength was gone and grandma had to be a single parent and the bread winner to my older sister and I. We survived on grandma's goverment pention, few years later grandma was ill and passed on.

Now my life turn onto another path whereby I had moved to stay with my aunt and then my uncle. This led to me not being free as a person due to I was aware that I'm no more living in my own space and that I have a roof over my head by the grace of my family which was a one bedroom house with 10 people living in it. Staying at my uncle's place was not easy living because they never had lots of money to offer due to him being the only income in the house where worked as an taxi driver, but they had the love which was more than what money can buy. At the age 11 year old I started working with my uncle Peter after school and weekends as the sliding door operator and collecting  the taxi fare from passengers, this was good to me because I felt that I was a help to the family.This went on into high school when I picked up bad habbits and meeting friend that was a good and bad influence on my life, started smoking then drinking alcohol which led to smoking canibus. While doing all these thing I felt that I was wasting my life and feeling that there was more to life than hanging with gangster like "friends" and doing the things they were doing even though I did it to fit in the crowd.

I was in grade 11 into my final year of school doing my studying in the of a Toyota Cresida stationwagon. in this time I was invited to church by my aunt Lorna, this was a major turning point in my life, this is when I met the Lord Jesus Christ. This is when I realised that life's worth and things I lacked I found.Cape Town Christian Fellowship (CTCF) is  the church where I found the one true Father and a spiritual father which is Apostel Roger Petersen and many mothers.Roger Petersen and Peter Adams has been a father in my for most of my life, they have nurtured, provided and decipled me with the help and sacrifices that family had to make for me to the person I am today. These are the men that played huge role in my life together with Gerald Hartnick.

Today, by the grace of God I completed my schooling career and did a few short courses through Impact Direct Ministries and RLabs. One of it was a course by RLabs which was a social media course. Which gave me the platform to empower others via the web. Currently I'm employed by RLabs as a technical manager and I facilitate a group of senior citizens of the comunity teaching and empowering their use of their mobile phones and another group of teens teaching them about social media. So why Mikey2k? Simply because I was known as Mikey by most people and the greatest change of my life happened in the year 2000 AKA y2k.
