Dear BPCWA worshipper, As a pastor, God has given me the privilege of ministering to several people in various stages of life.

Even where he would sit during the crowning was carefully chosen. A banner with

Dear BPCWA worshipper, News channels and tabloids ran articles last week featuring Met Gala in New York, attended by what are known as A-list guests from the who’s who of the celebrity world for “fashion’s most extravagant night”.
