TV presenter Willis Raburu has spoken about the pivotal moment in his life when his father, a staunch Christian, led him to salvation at just 7 years old.
According to Willis, his father, Peter Raburu, a former Provincial Commissioner, conducted the procedure and told him and his siblings to introduce themselves as born-again.
Willis made the revelation while speaking to comedian MC Jessy on his YouTube channel Jessy Junction, saying, 'The first time we got to know about salvation, we were very young. He (my dad) was the one who conducted that procedure. He told us with my siblings to be introducing ourselves as saved. Later is when we understood what salvation meant. I rededicated my life to God.'
Willis also credited his father with teaching him valuable virtues such as work ethic and spirituality, which he still holds dearly.
He recalled, 'He used to pray, he used to wake us up, he taught me how to pray, he taught me the importance of reading the scripture. That is what I have carried. That is what has kept me sane in all the things I have gone through in my life.'
