• Bank Richards, a Nigerian living abroad, experienced a significant transformation in his Christian beliefs after meeting Pastor Abel Damina in 2016.

Bank Richards, a Nigerian living abroad, talked about how his Christian faith and life transformed after meeting Pastor Abel Damina in 2016.

In a series of tweets on X, Bank shared that he encountered Pastor Abel, the head of Kingdom Life Network (KLN), while he was in medical school and working as the campus pastor for a well-known Nigerian church.

Bank described his life before meeting Pastor Abel as enjoyable, mentioning that he drove the church bus and had sisters who prepared meals for him.

“I was the Campus Pastor of a famous church in Nigeria. In Uni I drove church bus on campus, sisters used to cook for me, it was a sweet experience. I won’t deny, there were also good things I learnt there. Like; “How to act decently and in order. “I carried myself with this respect 🫡 and with my sparkling suits 😂…”

Amid the perks and merits of his church, Bank said he had difficulty answering some questions regarding God’s words.

“My story began with difficulty answering some questions and the feeling of not doing justice to God’s word. So, I started reading for myself, I always asked myself how do I know that tithing is good. I went back and read the Bible but it wasn’t adding up.

“Why should a woman not wear or wear trouser? I just couldn’t explain. “I did all the Bible Institutes of my old church but it didn’t answer my questions.”

It was while he was at home on holiday that he learnt about Pastor Abel’s three-week Bible school in Onitsha and this caught his attention. Bank said he attended and finally got answers to his questions and his life changed.

In his words: “…She told me that some men of God will be coming to Onitsha (INVASION 2016). Abel Damina and Chris Segun Onayinka; these men taught her pastor. That they will be doing a 3 weeks Bible school 🏫 “Omo, I was to resume school, but I went. My eyes was wide opened. All my questions were answered. I now could attempt to explain.

“I went back to school, as a campus pastor in my old church, my message changed, my attitude changed, I stopped driving, cooked myself, evangelism became Tom Tom sweet 🍬, I prayed, healed, preached and students were saved, infact I saved a cult boy.

“In my old church, they will ask me to come and make prayers that our enemies should die 💀; I lost my zeal to pray such prayers, my zonal pastor started asking questions…”

Bank eventually left his former church and “went on with Papa Abel.”
