“Update
Lady refused to be treated at hospital
So, after travelling twice from Minna to Kafanchan and made all the expenses for her(Dorcas) from Kafanchan to Jos on three occasion only to refuse to carry out pathology test ? Saying it's against their tradition?
What stapid tradition? Why didn't the same
tradition heal the ailment in the first place?
Dear parents, not every case is a spiritual attack,
Some cases just need medical attention.
Well, that is what we see in this mission. On this note I rest my case”.
