He said: “To us it is the true religion and Christianity as Jesus enjoined us to do that we should show kindness to our neighbour, irrespective of their race, religion or creed.
“These are children who became victims of the insurgency which displaced them from their abode and they found themselves becoming beggars through no fault of theirs. These should not stop them from fulfilling the purpose for which God created them. Who knows what they will become tomorrow? “That is why we are here(pointing at the two Assistant Pastors in – charge of Administration and CSR, Pastors Constance Iweanya and Sola Sanni, respectively), to inaugurate the partnership.
