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.
