Born in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire), Christian Nseka was orphaned at a young age. Seeking consolation and peace during times of great personal unrest, he studied the Bible (with focus on New Testament) daily in his teenage years. After many years of Bible study and unceasing prayer, he was approached by a member of the Unification Church and introduced to the Divine Principle, the teaching of Reverend Sun Myung Moon and the official doctrine of the Unification Church.
