Man narrates how a thug who approached him gave his life to Christ after preaching to him

A Nigerian man identified as Toyosi Godwin has narrated how he successfully made a street thug to give his life to Christ.

Taking to Twitter via his account @ToyosiGodwin, he said he preached to a thug named Sodiq who then gave his life to Christ.

Narrating the back story, he revealed that some thugs had approached him to beg for money, and they walked away after he asked if they would listen to him.

Toyosi said Sodiq, who asked for N200, decided to listen to him. He added that he gave the young man N1,000 and the kind gesture made him cry.

He shared;

“I desire a life of peace. Today, I preached to a thug. He gave his life to Christ. His name is Sodiq. A young man like me. This bro cried after I gave him 1k. He had asked for N200 before I even talked to him. Sodiq realized there was more to life today. He will be a great guy.”

“You know, these people are hungry. His friends were begging me for money. I asked if they’d listen to me but they blew thick smoke in my face. Sodiq walked out of them, and told me he’d listen.

“Turned out we had a lot in common. I mentioned a childhood friend.”

“We walked together under the hot sun on Lawanson road as he recounted his regrets to me, promising to change. He didn’t have a phone, but he collected my number, and even my Twitter handle (I had told him about my account).l
