WELCOME TO THE WELFARE MINISTRY
Welfare Ministry is one of the department in the church which looks at helping the needy. It is founded on the basis of the many scriptures in the bible which informs us of how good it is to give and help those in need. The foundation scriptures can be seen at the end of this page.
The ministry can not exist without your support. We identify the needy in the church as well as the community and endeavour to help in the best way possible but can only do so much. We need your help. A small love gift or donation can help a homeless person, a child who is in an orphanage home, an adult who has lost hope of seeing another day, the old people who have no one to care for them and many more.
Please help us to provide for the sick, the starving, the homeless, the hopeless and more. We will act on your behalf and give to those in need.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TODAY
You don’t need to be a member of our church for you to give. Giving is for everyone. The bible says “Give and it shall be given to you good measure pressed down and running over…”. It does not say let my Christian child give. Its a principal that lays a common ground. Be blessed as you give to help another person
