Lingap sa Mamamayan outreach activities
The Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) successfully held simultaneous Lingap sa Mamamayan outreach activities last Oct. 29, in what was planned as the church’s largest and farthestreaching socio-civic initiative in its history.
The Lingap program, which provided livelihood and assistance programs to needy but deserving communities, was held to celebrate the 62nd birthday of Executive Minister Bro. Eduardo Manalo today.
Free medical and dental clinics were held together with distribution of “goodie bags” in 106 locations nationwide spread all over Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, and in several areas in Asia, Europe, America and Africa.
“Lingap’s continuing aim is to provide real and concrete assistance to local communities here and abroad. We work together with local stakeholders in uplifting people’s lives. As we build relationships with communities, we also strengthen our relationship with God,” Bro. Glicerio Santos Jr. emphasized.
The largest Lingap kicked off with outreach programs in Barangay Maharlika in Taguig City and Barangay Culiat in Quezon City, with a combined number of 40 doctors and 30 dentists providing free clinics and consultations. More than 100,000 “goodie bags” were distributed in both venues.
Outreach missions were likewise conducted in several parts of the US and Canada, northern and southern Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia, Cambodia and various areas in the Middle East including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE.
