“Like I said, this academy is to build homes, we are home makers. Our job is beyond, do the job and leave, our role as an engager , is to make sure we pray very well for the couple, both families and the guests. We have some homes that are not branded in prayers, or the devil did not want such homes to settle , or to come together, our role is to commit such homes to the Lord before we start or after we are done.”
“Also, as an engager, you don’t need to waste time in your assignment, do your job perfectly, smartly and leave. My source is God almighty, I don’t know any other source but God, commit everything to him and He will see you through.”
