According to Apostle Femi Lazarus, his salvation story was quite strange. In his words, "I returned from a night party the night I gave my life to Christ. It was just a simple conversation between me and my Dad. The questions he asked me were assisted by the spirit and that was all God needed to bring me closer to himself. I wasn’t chasing God, God was chasing me!"  The conversion occurred after he had a 'simple talk' with his dad, who he adores greatly and admits plays a huge and significant role in his life.
