Redeemed Church Partners Military on Medicals of Fallen Heroes’ Widows, Children

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has disclosed plans to offer regular free healthcare to officers and men of the nation’s military, especially families of the country’s fallen heroes.

The church made the disclosure yesterday when it took its Christian Social Responsibility (CSR) outreach programme to the Mogadishu Cantonment, Asokoro, Abuja, where free healthcare, as well as food items, were delivered to women and children.

Speaking at the occasion, Pastor in Charge of the City of David (RCCG), Abuja, Gbolade Okenla, said the gesture was in line with the vision and mandate of the General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye.

Okenla, who observed that the Nigerian military has been doing a lot to secure the country, stated that it has become imminent to support them, especially the families of those who lost their lives in the line of duty.

“We are in Mogadishu barracks on behalf of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and in line with our General Overseer’s vision, Pastor E. A.Adeboye, who has mandated us to reach out to our communities.

“We are reaching out to the Nigerian Armed Forces today, not that they need it but because we felt we are neighbours, and they have done a lot and they are still doing a lot in maintaining the territorial integrity of our nation and the least we can do in line with the vision of our general overseer is to reach out to them through our Christian Social Responsibility (CSR) programme,” he said.

While stating that it is part of the church’s responsibility to look after their neighbours, Okenla assured that the church will make the gesture a regular one and extend to other barracks in the country.
