How his life changed

After crying out to a man of God, Pastor Tony Rapu, expressing his need to be delivered, the man’s ministry visited him in 2018 to take care of him.

One of the first things the clergyman did was to commit him to an institution to deal with his drug addiction. A year after, the man’s looks changed.

A visit Pastor Tony paid him has Prince hugging the cleric in deep appreciation of what he did for him.

Narrating his story, the man said:

“I remember that day Pastor Tony came to pick me at Idodo. The drug dealers were mocking me.”

The man said people who knew him in his neighbourhood never believed he would change because of his addiction.
