My First Day In Ikoyi Prison

Hello guys, I was led to join the Prison Ministry in my church many moons ago.

The group spent an hour to honour the outgoing Chairman also known as Chaplain General Reverend Solomon Dipe . What touched me the most was how long; 40 years he spent saving, helping offenders. Assuring them that God is for them and helping them settle in life. See How Surprised He Was At The Honour He told us not to worry about not getting rewards. He said he got his reward afte...
