He noted that if not because of God’s faith, the journey would have terminated a long time ago adding that the challenges are daunting but with God’s mercies, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
“The journey has not being easy. There are times when I feel like giving up and there are times I feel as if the journey is far away from me. But despite the challenges God has been faithful,” he said.
