Skales described the experience as a clear reminder of divine timing, stressing that the help came at a time he was facing public ridicule.
He said, “Earlier this year, I told God he needed to bless me because my career, I was being laughed at. My team and I had a plan, but little did we know God had a bigger plan.
"God raised a kid in Barcelona, Lamine Yamal, and all it took was one simple dance video that went viral, and changed my life.
"I had written down seven prayer points, and all of them happened in one day. It’s so amazing that I found myself editing an adidas advert, a global advert. I want to give glory to God.”
