Man makes it after attending Shiloh

Legit.ng also reported that a man, Moses Owen Browne, took to his LinkedIn page to talk about how he had a life-changing encounter after he attended Shiloh.

He said that though he is a Liberian, he joined the commission when he was living in Ghana. When he returned to his home country in 2008, he continued.

Moses revealed that prior to joining the commission, he was nothing to be proud of as he was working for free as a journalist. He said he had to sell things like doughnuts, boiled eggs, and peanuts to survive.
