Pastor Yohanna Buru with some of the beneficiaries
The General Overseer of Christ Evangelical and Life Intervention Ministry, Pastor Yohanna Buru has commenced the distribution of foodstuff to some Muslims to enable them have enough food during the 30-day fasting. “This is the fourth time the church is sharing bags of grains and other foodstuff to large numbers of street beggars, internally displaced person, children in orphanages and Muslim prison inmates.
“We do this in order to strengthen peaceful co-existence and religious tolerance among different faiths to live in peace and harmony according to the teachings of the holy books. We must remember that we worship one God, and we are from the family of Adam and Eve, therefore we must join hands to support each other,” he added. The cleric further called on wealthy Muslims to equally remember the less-privileged, IDPs and widows in the society so that they can participate fully in the Ramadan fasting with ease.
While congratulating Muslims on the arrival of Ramadan, he urged Imams and Ulamas to intensify prayers for peace and unity of the country. Responding, Chairman of the Association of People Living with Disability, Mallam Abdullahi Sama’ia thanked the church for the donation.
