Joy Francis (not real name), an Enugu born orphan
and a former prostitute who was rescued and rehabilitated by the Omega Power
Ministries in Rivers state two months ago, got married to her Furniture-maker
husband over the weekend. Narrating her story, the bride said she got into
prostitution after losing her mother in 2012.
"I got involved
in prostitution after the death of my mother in 2012. I am an orphan, my father
died in 2007, I came from a polygamous home and could not continue my education
after dropping out in my secondary school. As my last option, I took the choice
of engaging in a full time prostitution to help myself. Consequently, I was
addmitted into a demonic brothel in Diobu where certain rituals are made
through shaving of hair from all the sensitive part of your body to be
deposited with the owner of the brothel. I could not find any pleasure in the
business as several ugly incidents kept occuring in the evil brothel. I lament
every day in my life for God to rescue me as I no longer felt confortable to
continue in the act of prostitution but to avail. At some point, members of
Winners Chapel church near water lines junction, will come to the brothel in
their buses to convey us to their church but will later returned us to the
brothel. I kept wondering why the church could not offer an alternative means
for us to quit the illicit trade".
Speaking further, the bride said
"As I was believing God for a saviour to meet me was when Daddy OPM visited our brothel with an uncommon style of envagelism urging us not only to quit prostitution but to pack out of the brothel to follow him. He promised to give us house, set up businesses for us, change our lives and also to sponsor the traditional and white wedding of any of us who truly accept Christ and repent from our evil ways, a rare opportunity I have being looking for. This divine visitation by the OPM envagelism team was made two days after my colleague "Chisom" lost her life in the act, a situation that created so much fear in me to quit the business. Today, those promises were made possible in my life, I am now wedded to a husband of my choice, the church has graciously provided another accommodation for us, set up business for me and God has change my life for better".Also speaking, the groom who is a furniture maker said "I do not care about what background we may come from but with the God of OPM, he knew his matrimonial home is solidly built".
