Defined for Purpose: Born Before Pain, But Sent Through It traces Paula Byabagamba's remarkable journey through loss, survival, and purpose: Through the hills of Kigali, where she drifted from one relative's home to another, carrying a suitcase full of questions and a quiet conviction that God still saw her. Across the wide streets of Toronto, where rejection and racism collided with calling and self-discovery. And into the prairies of Regina, where single motherhood, poverty, and loneliness became the furnace that forged unshakable faith. She endured the shadows of Nakivale, the scarcity of Kampala, and the uncertainty of constant movement. She faced doors that closed and seasons of deep solitude. But through it all, her trials became her training ground. Her wounds became her witness. What tried to bury her became the soil that grew her. Nothing could break what God was shaping. This is a story of survival, surrender, and sacred purpose. It's not just her story. It might be yours too. You were not an accident. You were seen. You were sent. You were always defined for purpose.
