The incredible story of the 45-year-old Cypriot Kyriakos, who managed to become a successful businessman from homelessness, is reported by the Parikiaki newspaper.
The 45-year-old Cypriot, according to the report, "reached" the bottom 16 years ago. "I made some bad choices and ended up on the wrong path, with a failed, very toxic relationship with some choices leading me to a dark place. I have at least two beautiful children in this relationship. "My mother, father and sister always supported me, but sometimes you feel so ashamed that you can not ask for anyone's help," he said.
Eventually, homeless and lost, he entered a detox center in Ilford, a small room that "had to be dragged out of bed so as not to hit the ceiling."
In his darkest hour, according to what he describes, he met his wife Susan and his spiritual mentor, Archbishop Dr. Kostakis Evangelou, who took him under his protection and offered him an opportunity that no one gave him.
Then he started volunteering in the church and that was the beginning of a new life. He explained that "the Archbishop showed me how to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and how to integrate biblical values into my daily life and then apply them to my business."
He stressed that "little by little I started to mature mentally, physically and spiritually". A year later, he married Susan and they had another child.
Then he started his own business in the field of marketing, which slowly expanded and now serves customers from all over the world.
In closing, he says: "He wants me to encourage others, if I did it, everyone can do it. In life there are always setbacks. Our choices will determine whether these setbacks will destroy us or act as a springboard for us to move forward. I believe that for every three steps forward, we can fall two behind, however, we are always one step ahead ".
