COUNSEL TO SOMEONE WHO JUST FINISHED “SERVICE YEAR”

Just after his service year, he walked up to me and told me about his plans. He gave his life to Christ just as service year was starting. He had his fair share of temptations that he got delivered.

WIN YOUR PASTOR’S CONFIDENCE

USED CONDOMS AND OUR NEW HOME

A couple of years ago, I rented an apartment. After the old occupants moved out, I and some others had to do some clearing out of the apartment. We made a lot of discoveries that tell a lot about the lifestyle of the former occupants. The unwelcoming sight of used condoms stuffed in a bottle hidden in a corner of […]

But Irewamiri calmly said to Danielle, “I will go and hide while you try to find me”. I was the timekeeper. I counted to ten and released […]
