Some years back, it was a season of intense pressure. I kept wondering if I was even making any sense. I had just spent the last two hours singing and crying. It was a trip of tears. I cried as I drove. Upon arrival at my base, the first person I saw was a young lady. As I greeted her […]
Some years back, I was visiting with someone I was just getting to know. That evening something happened. She got a call and I knew something was wrong. I picked from the tone of the call that it was a man-friend. Once she dropped the call, she said to me, “Pastor, it is because you are here o. I would […]
A dear father who is active in missions and church planting in unreached terrains shared a story that has not left my mind. It happened in one of the villages where he went to plant a church.

Mummy has a way of detecting when my elder sister is sick. She is scared of hospitals, injections and drugs. My sister would take on house chores that Mum did not even ask for. She answers questions faster than you ask. She also talks a bit more than normal. This is all in a bid to hide the fact that […]
I went to pick Danielle and her mum after the close of work. On arrival, Danielle came downstairs while Irewamiri was still upstairs. She greeted me and said, “Daddy, I fell down”. I did a pitiful face and told her, “Sorry dear”. The next thing I heard turned on a switch within me. She said to me, “Daddy, come and […]
Mum stepped out. Danielle stepped out also. Olive began to look around and wanted to cry. She did not know I was right behind her. I picked up her toy, got her attention and said to her, “You are not alone. I am here with you”. She beamed a smile and continued playing. I believe the Lord is asking me […]
