My dad died because of N2, 000 – Bishop Tom Samson

Life was not rosy for televangelist and general overseer of Christ Royal Family International church, Bishop Tom Samson, the cheerful and ever loving fire-brand gospel preacher when he was growing up.

He disclosed that he went through hardship and poverty and as a result his father died because they could not afford N2000 to buy his drugs.

The preacher, Educationist, Author and Philanthropist who will be marking his 47^th birthday and commissioning of Royal City, Ota on December 14 emphasized that, “When God called me, he asked me to raise people. What God uses a man for, his based on the need. When I was growing up my dad died because of N2, 000 to buy drugs. I still weep because of that. I never bought a textbook and I trekked to school.  I went through school with hardship, suffering and poverty. I prayed a prayer, I said, “God if you ever bless me, I will be a blessing. God has given me the grace and resources so I have a heart of giving back to the society.”

Hmm, sometimes, when some men of God attack poverty, you will not understand why until you hear their story.
