| About Angelos Malach | I'm Sandra Naomi Thwala, my maiden name is Walder. My stage name is Angelos Malach, meaning 'Angelos, means angel in Greek, and Malach means angel in Hebrew. Malachi also means my angel, in Hebrew. I was born on 20 July 1972 into a Pentecostal Christian family of six children, raised together along with my dad Bishop Kenneth George Walder, who passed away to heaven on the 04 March 2002, and my mum First Lady, Sister Hyacinth Hadassah Walder, her maiden name Lawrence, who passed away to heaven on the 12 April 2013, three months ago. I always loved to sing, dance, and preach. But never really had the confidence to do what I loved, due to low self esteem which I suffered from for many years. As a result of certain assaults that I'd experience but never talked about them until the damage was already done. However, after having the courage to share with some people what I'd faced, I was able to move on with enough support to recognise how valuable I am in this world, and that God has always had a place for me here, and one day He also has a place for me in Heaven, and on the New Earth. I never found education or socialising easy. I enjoyed hidding behind the confidence of others. Until I learnt how to really believe in prayer, and have faith in God then I began to shine, and to feel alive. At the age of 30 years old, It was then that it dawned on me that for many years I'd not really lived. I was merely existing to try and survive in a world that seemed not to have much place for someone like me. However, when I told my mother how I felt, she made it very clear to me that God has a place for everyone in this world, but it's up to us to find it, and we can do this with his help. The impacts of the assaults that I'd experienced in my life left me feeling somewhat disconnected from my family. Who never understood, as I never felt that I could talk to anyone who would really understand other than my mother. This is because, she'd shared with me some experiences where she'd managed to escape some of the things that I'd been through. So she clearly knew, and understood that unfortunately sometimes in live you've got to run for your life. Before, it gets messed up. As a result of this my mother helped me to pick up the pieces, by teaching me how to depend on God in prayer and fasting. Both my mother and father taught me how to depend on God. I never found education easy but battled through and managed to achieve GCSEs, and equivalents. Some RSA's in Computer Administration, an NVQ in Health & Social Care, and an honours degree in Theology. I've been married to my precious husband for 7.5 Years. I have a 16 year old son who I had before I was married. I am currently voluntarily (not paid) Pastoring a church with my husband, and looking to take on more Pastors, as we anticipate rapid church growth working part-time as a support worker, and singing. I'm very much looking forward to being an inspiration to people who never knew that they could achieve in life. I'm here to let them know, they can be what they want to be. Love, and peace to you all. |
