It was a double celebration for the Nobles Family Church as members marked the 10th anniversary community outreach of the church along with Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day.
They commemorated the event with the theme, ‘Illuminate’, a timely illustration that the ‘darkness’ Nigerians are experiencing currently will in due time give way to the light of economic prosperity and development.
The special occasion was also used to give back to the community through philanthropic gestures and they appealed to all Nigerians to be their brother’s keepers.
Speaking to journalists at the occasion, the senior pastor of Nobles Family Church, Bishop Ebiye Tuaweri, said: “what we are doing is reaching out to the community and give what we can, the best way we can. There’s food for the people to eat, cloths for the people to have, there are people cutting their hairs, medical services are going on. So, several things are going on, and it’s our way of helping the nation as we celebrate the anniversary as well as our tenth year in ministry.”
Boma Bonebo, an elder in the church said “there’s no point of holding the goods that God has given to you just on yourself, we should be able to release and nobles family always provide that avenue for reaching out to the community.”
For his part, Rev. Prosper Isichei, the vice president of Nobles Family Church, said: “What the church is doing today is just reaching out to the little number of people we can. We have over 220 million people in Nigeria and today we are reaching out to over 500 people, but we believe it’s a significant steps, everybody is empowered to do that.
“One of my messages to the youths is for the young people, as a youths, you don’t need to wait until you become a very wealthy person, you can begin to touch lives now and most of our volunteers here are young people.”
Also speaking, Emmanuel Omai, a minister in Nobles Family said: “this year community outreach is wonderful and we give God all the glory.”
“The international Bible summit is truly going to illuminate every darkness in the nation and Nigeria will be great again,” Omai emphasised.
Hauwa Mamman, an excited beneficiary of the church’s benevolence, said: “may God continue to bless the church and all her leaders who made this assistance a possibility, they’ll never lack any good thing in their lives.”
Some of the features of the community outreach included free meals, basic health checks, hair care, games, Samaritan Market for free shopping, counselling, prayers and lots more.
