About Me

My name is Celestine Degboe. I am originally from Benin, West Africa and I currently live in Minnesota. I was born and raised as a Christian Catholic. I was very devoted to my church. In my early age, I was among the script writer and  I was also singing in the choir. I was attending church and taking communion every morning, before going to work. The Church became part of my life.  

    In 1991, I was working as Comptroller and Analyst at the Post Office, and all the sudden, I was struck with blindness. It was not hereditary. I was devastated and looked for solutions everywhere including church, hospitals. Doctors could not determine the exact cause of my illness and could not heal me.  My friend, who was out the country for a year, returned and was surprised to see me sick. She said not to worry that she discovered a new religion called eckankar that can resolve all my problems. That is how I was introduced to eckankar, a religion unknown to me.
