“We find you guilty of betraying the Agency…” Tina said that was the last thing she remembered. She had given a vivid account of her time at the Elders’ council…

“ I counted them, they were 24 elders of different colors, white, brown skin, Indians, Caucasian, you know, it was more of the representation of the world… I stepped in and I heard like a clerk reading out my identity… The Clerk gave details about me even to the SCA division I was heading. After all the introductions… a video was played as evidence against me. It was the times I secretly was listening to the Word of God. I wasn’t surprised, so I spoke without being asked to speak…”

“ I don’t intend denying this, I have given my life to Christ and there is no going back, Kill me now because I am not afraid to die. Death is better than a life lived In Sin…”

Tina kept quiet as Favour and I looked on at her wanting her to say more…

“ This was exactly the kind of silence that rent the air after my speech, I noticed after the elders recovered they spoke in low tones amongst themselves before the Chairman spoke…

“ We find you guilty of betraying the agency, you are therefore sentence to immediate extinguishing with brutal measures….”

“ At that point I screamed Jesus so loudly and what happened next I don’t know”

“ I guess the name of Jesus threw the council into a fit and instead of killing you they made you go insane” Favour concluded…

“ Obviously “ Tina said…

“ Tina, I will like to show you to the room I asked the teenagers to prepare for you..” Favour said

“ The teenagers!” Tina’s eyes shone…

“When do I get to meet them, I mean share my experiences with them, you know like preach to them..” Tina said

Favour was taken aback as she looked at me before looking straight into Tina’s eyes…

“ Preach to the teenagers? I think it should be the opposite. Right now Tina, you are babe in Christ and babies should learn to grow first Into adults before rushing to the altar…”

“ I was once a born again Christian before the SCA, till now I know major Scriptures”

“ Well, the moment you backslid, you fell off the height you were on the spiritual ladder, now that you are back to the folk, you have to start from the basic again… You need to grow …” Favour said with a note of finality in her voice

“ Tina, She is right, that was my first mistake when I got out of SCA, I wasn’t yet stable on my Spiritual ladder, yet I was trying to drag people along with me…God is not yet interested in you sharing your experiences with people yet, instead He wants you to have an experience with him …”

Tina nodded her head and I watched as Favour walked her to her room…

Knowing who Favour was, I knew Tina was in for a spiritual revival…

I really do not know what Favour must have done with Tina for three months straight. They became best of friends. Tina became a new person, she radiated God’s glory. Though we lived in the same house and attended devotions together everyday, we hardly spoke except general greetings.

I also took that time to grow In the Lord more. I had come to realize God was more interested in me having a personal relationship with HIM than drawing men unto HIM.

I wasn’t having the best of health but I was surviving. I welcomed each new day with gratitude.

“ I want to start a campaign on “No sex before marriage” Tina had said during one morning devotion when Favour had asked if there was anyone who had a prayer request…

There was silence in the room, so Tina continued….

“ One of the strategies of the SCA is to send teachers into schools so as to infiltrate the system, I have decided to use their strategy against them. I will write schools to render free Counselling services to their students, that way I will be able to reach out to them… A little drops make an ocean… if I can reach one child ,she will Inturn affect others and the circle goes on.., like what happens with the Sexculator..” Tina said looking towards me

I nodded in response as I understood what she was aiming for…

“ I will join you, male students will be more comfortable with a male counselor..” I said but I didn’t want to look towards Favour for fear of her disapproval, but a quick glance showed the contrary. She was smiling…

“ So let us pray for this vision and the vessels God wants to use…” Favour said smiling

We were prayed for, and only looking at Tina, I knew the SCA was in for unexpected trouble…

For the next five days, we searched the Internet for the list of secondary schools in our vicinity and we listed 108 schools. We sent emails to each of them using LIGHTHOUSE as our front, we asked for permission to give our Counselling services for free and thankfully about 88 schools responded positively…

It turned out like a dream, we tagged it “Please Listen to Me”.

We went round schools and devoted 3 days for each of the schools. The students who needed Counselling would have registered ahead, and for five minutes each, we listened and gave advice. Before the Counselling session, we however would have had a general lecture on the assembly ground, telling them about our stories and that was like a key into their hearts…

Tina and I heard a lot of heart wrenching stories, of fathers sleeping with their daughters, uncles sleeping with their nieces, househelps raping boys, homosexuality introduced by elder cousins, e.t.c

We heard a lot and with our little spiritual understanding we counseled and prayed with them.

However, after about 3 months into the program, I was not satisfied , I felt something wasn’t right. We were just going round and depositing the seeds into these children, but not watering it.

I had the inclination there was more to do, so as to have that lasting impact in the lives of the teenagers…

SCA always camped its agents before launching them out, that was the time of orientation and infusing into them what they wanted them to become….

I had a feeling I needed to do something like that…

Camping teenagers for months and imputing in them the Word Of God before releasing them….

I had the idea, but I didn’t know how to go about it realistically, until…
