TESTIMONY OF A FORMER DRUG DEALER (PART 4)

At a time, I fell seriously sick. It was like a combination of many different diseases. The sickness wasn’t normal as my symptoms could not be traced to any particular illness.

She told me to come with her and get it from a certain house. I followed her to the house and to my disappointment, a believers’ class was being held!

Coincidentally, the sister called and pressed on me to come. I complained about clothes and not having had my bath but she said I should just come, that it was not about clothes.

I had an idea to get money for school fees from my parents, suspend studies, and then tell them I had an extra year. It was an intricate plan. There was no way they were going to find out. But I heard some of the things the pastor said and changed my mind. He was talking about telling the truth…
