Our Arrival into Ibadan was glorious. Thousands of people ran out to welcome us as we drove into town. Our first stop was at the Governors palace. He is a Christian and welcomed us heartily. He said that when Evangelist R.B. was here 8 years ago, he was ***a local goverment chairman*** (a very low government position). But after evangelist B. prayed for him he became the Governor of one of the most powerful states in Nigeria. It is truly the Lord that exalts.

¡gracias Jane!, coincido contigo, pensé que esa manera de expresarlo disminuía la importancia del concepto de jefe.
