In the spirit of celebration, she sent out a message to her fans yesterday, thanking God for sparing her life till date and making her what she is today.
In her message, Mercy said she would have ended up a pr0stitut3 but for God who has shown her mercy.
Here is the message:
Today, I thought of many things I would love to have as birthday gifts and the many dreams I’m still pursuing.
In all of this I’m not losing sight of the fact that if not for God I might have ended up on the street like the many kids and young adults begging for food and some pr0stituting to make ends meet.
If we know the circumstances that force some of these people on the street we would spare a thought for them. I am where I am today purely by the grace of God and the grace of the people who believed in me from the word go.
Recently, I was at the Boys Reform Oregun,Lagos,the discussion I had with the principal Mr. Kotun and much later with the Special Adviser in charge of all remand homes in Lagos set me thinking about the boys and girls on the street.
They have dreams too. Can they fulfill those dreams on the street? The answer will likely be no because I won’t be where I am today if I had ended up on the street.
For this reason, Mercy Johnson Foundation will be doing a lot to get kids off the street. We are not asking people for funds. I will do all I can with the resources God has given me, and with the support of my husband to help get these kids off the street and set them on the path where they can begin to pursue their dreams.
