Pastor cuts short young lady's testimony
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a Ghanaian pastor, Apostle Daniel Atta Gyebi, embarrassed a congregant after she delivered a testimony in church.
The trending video showed a young lady mounting the church's altar to testify that her boyfriend had helped her find a three-bedroom apartment to rent.
Seemingly outraged by her comments, the pastor took the microphone from the lady and sacked her from the stage, resulting in an embarrassing moment.
