“I stopped playing football for two years after finishing secondary school because my family needed money. I was the youngest child of my parents, but I wanted to support them. I started working at Christ Embassy Church, directly under Pastor Chris.
“About 15 of us from the same neighborhood worked together, distributing Rhapsody of Realities books, and we were paid good money. I met new people, made friends, and the work brought in good money at the time.
“Pastor Chris is a kind-hearted man. He prayed for us, fed us, and provided housing. I lived in the church for about five months, only returning home on weekends to see my family. I support Christ Embassy today financially because I know what they do for our community.
“They help a lot of people, but we hardly see it on the news. We have so many schools and hospitals built by churches. We have community water projects built by churches and so much more,” Victor Osimhen said as he speaks on Christ Embassy and Chris Oyakhilome.
