I was working in the library. Before I could blink an eye, Danielle had gone inside a shelf and closed the door in a bit to hide from Olive. My fatherly instinct came on. I stood up and opened the shelf and gave them both a stern warning. “What if they tried this on a day no adult was close”. […]
After agreeing with the Lord that I would serve him in Eruwa full time, I had an opportunity for a three weeks break outside of the country.

He then added, “Pastor Temi, I know you. You are not a heavy eater. You will surely leave us a lot of change in […]
I was billed to minister in a city outside my base. They asked me a couple of questions and I kindly requested that no matter the arrangement been made, I would have a minister with me at all times.
