Woman give up pornography to become pastor

A mother has quit her porn star career and lavish life style to become a pastor.

The 33 years old lady spend 10 years in porn industry before turning her life around after meeting and marrying a pastor.

After falling pregnant at the age of 16, she took to acting pornographic films to be Abel to take care of her self and her baby.

A porn agent had assured her that she had the potential to make $30,000 monthly translating to $360,000 a year.
Crystal Bassette from Clay, New York attended her first scene in a house at Malibu, California but it wasn't an easy experience, not in the slightest.

She said, "I remembered after the scene I was in shower for over 2hours crying. Then I stopped after that shoot and didn't go back for about one month.

"I ended up going back to it again and that was when I was numbing myself through taking pains medicine and drinking alcohol to get through the scene.

"It just became like this daily routine for me where I will drop my son off to school in the morning,  go do a shoot and return home. It was like a regular 9 to 5 job"

Crystal addiction to alcohol and both earning and spening large amount of money became a vicious cycle - one that she said sucked her up until she ultimately lost herself in the haze.

Eventually, she decided this life style was unsustainable to her and her well- being so she turned to Bible for help.

"My mind was so messed up and after reading the Bible I know that I was been haunted by a spirit of Jezebel " she said.

 "The day I was saved, I felt like the preacher was just speaking to me directly . It was like he was preaching to only me and you know that day I felt like God was talking to me through his preaching and everything he said felt right.

"I Ended up walking the middle. I got down on my knees and was just praying to God to just release me from everything and my mom was there and my sister came over and were just all crying.

"And that was the day I got saved"

Crystal began devoting her life to God - and in the process,  she met her now Husband - David, a pastor.

She said, "He'd known about my past for years because my sister was going to his church . David is a kind of guy that believe your past is your past. You can't keep looking back at it. It's done with.

"It is definitely the ultimate change. It's going from one extreme to the next. I had to get away from this whole life.

The couple married December 2014 and were soon joined by their son Carter, Who was welcomed by the older brothers 16 year old Justin and  7 year old Landon.

David, 26 said, "what I would like people take away from us is that God can forgive you no matter what past you come from.

"I would like people to come to Christ through our relationship and our experiences.  I hope it encourages everybody else to do the same , to realise that money and fame isn't what  It's about.

Now recovered from her alcohol addiction and out of the porn industry,  Crystal has been able to reflect on her decisions and now believes she knows what led her on a path to adult film industry.

She said' "I was sexually abused when I was a child by two different people. So I went through  a lot of stuff as a kid.

"It's wordless,  I am alright now but it took me a long time. I went through a few years of therapy and stuff so I realise why i was choosing the life that I did."

With the surport of her friends and family,Crystal is now in a great place and have even graduated from college to become a paralegal and trained as a pastor.

David and Crystal have even founded their own church known as New Beginnings Christian Life in Fulton, New York where they hope to inspire others.

Crystal said, I look back at my past now and you know  I can't say I really regret anything because it has made me who I am today.

"It's like if I grew up as a teacher, I probably wouldn't be helping people now. I probably would be completely different.

"My past made me whom I am today and God has changed my life completely;

Stephanie Otobo Allegedly Tried To Blackmail Apostle Suleman Demanding N500m From Him

The General overseer of Omega Fire Ministry world wide, Apostle Johnson Suleman distanced himself from the arrest and detention of one miss Stephenie Otobo by police on March 3 over an alleged blackmail  offence.

The allegation came about a month after his instigation by the Department Of State Service (DSS) over an alleged incitement in his sermon in which he said that any Fulani herdsman found around his church should be killed

Apostle Johnson Suleman in a statement by his communication manager, Shaibu Phrank said there was no amorous relationship between Him and Otobo let alone promising to marry her.

A statement from Shaibu said that lady was allegedly arrested by the security operatives after an attempt to blackmail Suleman, demanding N500m from him, failing which she threatens to expose a purported amorous relationship with him.

A legal practioner, Festus Keyamo had demanded N500m from apostle Suleman on behalf of Otobe and accusing Apostle Suleman of using policemen to detain and intimidate his client unlawfully after  which he has promised to marry her.

Shaibu said Keyamo was misled to believe that there was an amorous relatiobship between the cleric and Otobo adding that the lady was arrested while trying to withdraw money paid into her account by the church in a sting operation carried out by the police.

He said "unknown to Keyamo, the police was alerted following severely attempts by the same lady to blackmail Apostle Johnson Suleman. The polic also recorded her conversations while makifrevourdeman. The highpoint of it was her trying to withdraw the money paid into her account at the instance of police. The lawyer should know that his client was arrested by the policemen with abundance of evidence confirming that she is indeed a big time blackmailer".

Shaibu also denied Keyamo's claim that their was amoruos relation and a promise to marry  his client.

The lady is said to be a stripper in a night club at Canada who is like every other peeople that seek help from Apostle Suleman called to pretentiously convey her intentions to embrace Christ and also need financial assistance to keep body and soul together as she no longer have a means of livelihood after quitting her job as a stripper.

The lady also made a claim that Apostle Suleman came for her marriage introduction which contrary to that allegation her father Rev. Benson Otobo, has refuted the claim saying the cleric has never been to his house.

Rev. Benson Ogoto has regretted why she was attempting to drag the name of the  revered man of God to mud.
