No fewer than 5,000 underprivileged persons in Lagos State will
benefit from Global Harvest Church’s N10m shopping vouchers during the
Easter celebration.
Senior Pastor, GHC, Victor Adeyemi, said the less-privileged would
use the vouchers to shop for food items, clothing and other materials
freely during the celebration.
Adeyemi said the programme entitled, ‘Shop for Free’, is a social
impact activity geared towards bringing smiles on the faces of the poor
during festive periods.
“The poor are at the very heart of our Lord. He fed them and provided
their daily needs, but our nation has been on the verge of social
challenges which has resulted in unemployment, insecurity and high rise
of poverty across the country,” Adeyemi said.
He said the gesture was the church’s little contribution towards tackling societal challenges.
Adeyemi added, “Food items, clothing and other materials will be purchased with the money.
“Also, individuals partnering the church will also support with their
various articles that will be displayed at the various stores erected
on the church premises where the beneficiaries can come in and shop for
what they need. The ‘shop-for-free will hold on Good Friday.
