Pastor builds house for abandoned widow
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a pastor had built a house for an abandoned widow.
The pastor who extended the kind gesture through Comforter’s Hand of Care Foundation, which she founded, had earlier visited the woman at her dilapidated wooden home.
In a video shared on Facebook by a Nigerian man identified as MC See Gobe, the pastor assured the septuagenarian that she would pull down the dilapidated house and build a better one for her.
