Prophet TB Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, yesterday donated N10 million to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Kuchingoro Camp, Abuja.
Joshua who lamented the condition in which Nigerians displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency in the North East region are living, called for more support to improve conditions in the camps.
Represented by Olorogun Talib Tebite, Joshua also promised the IDPs that the church would also provide a medical ambulance as well as other medications to boost health care delivery in the camp.
The Prophet who enjoined Nigerians to come to the aid of the displaced persons, noted that “as creations of God, we must learn to love our neighbours as our selves by being our brothers keepers especially in need. One way we must express our love for others is in giving”, he added.

The Emir appealed to the IDPs leaders to channel the donation towards the education of children in the camp and the provision of health facility for children and women in the camp.
On his part, the IDPs Camp Chairman, Philimon Emmanuel said the bulk of the money would used to establish a clinic in the camp.
While parts of it would be utilized in the provision of food and ensuring that children of secondary school age were sent to schools.
“We have been here since January 2014 and up till now we did not see something like this. We did not expect this and we cannot thank the church enough.
“We are going to have a clinic here. If we get a clinic some of our problems will be reduced. Because the first problem for us sickness in the camp and the clinic will address.
“We will buy some food items too and we have to educate our children because up till now our children that are in secondary school are not going to school. It only nursery and primary school that we have here”, he explained. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

This is a way of showing love to people in need. God demonstrated a greater of love by allowing His only begotten son to die for our sins. God therefore enjoined you and I to do same either in cash or kind. If all churches/Mosques should replicate this kind gesture by Church of All Nations,certainly, the issues confronting the IDPS will be alleviated.
