Dr Kufre Eyo, Senior Pastor, WIHOFA, said on Sunday that the church gave to the widows because it was also the responsibility of the people of God to reach out to those who are struggling during and after the pandemic.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the items distributed include rice, beans, noodles, onion, sweet potatoes and cassava flakes(garri).
Eyo, who also used the occasion to mark his birthday, said what the church gave out may not solve the widows’ problems, but he believed God would replenish the gift.
He said that as representatives of Jesus Christ, people should follow the steps of goodwill laid down by Him.
The Senior Pastor, however, thanked the government for reopening worship centres and prayed to God to heal the land.
He pledged that all laid down guidelines by the government during the pandemic would be followed by the church.
Sister Angela Obi, a widow and beneficiary, expressed gratitude to the pastor, saying the church had also during the lockdown provided for the less privileged.
She prayed to God to bless all those who consider the plight of widows and the less privilege in the society.
Sekinat Suleiman, another beneficiary, who wished the pastor a happy birthday, also thanked the church for its gesture by remembering the needy.
