"I was a faithful member of the Church of Pentecost. I always sang at the adult congregation and even at the youth service. Sometimes, they even offered me the opportunity to preach," he said.

Due to his active participation in the church, he was expecting to get help but to his utmost disappointment, he did not receive the support.

"They told me they don't do things like that in the church even after I made it clear that I was going to pay back when I get to travel."
