The two were friends and were seen so many times before he left the church to become the head pastor of Makarios City Assemblies Of God.
Joe Mettle is known for his awesome and powerful songs Bono Ni, My Everything, and Yesu Mo. This made Ps. Bennywood declined that claim because he said he didn’t want to take credit for what he didn’t do.
