He further said, ” We are so glad to be in your midst today. We are members of Faithspiration family. Our members scattered all over the world. During this Easter, we decided to visit our brothers and sisters living in different communities who are experiencing economic hardship”
.
” So, not to take away their financial challenges but to show them love because Christianity is all about love. So, we came to show you love. We want you to feel us and we want to feel you. We want to show you that you have brothers and sisters in Onitsha, Awka, Enugu, Lagos, Gambia, Cameroon, Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana every where in the world. If any person is experiencing difficulty, the other person will help”
.
“The first Charity is Charity of presence before Charity of present. We solicited Rice, Beans, Clothes and money from our members and friends. Some people gave us and we have been going community to Community. We have gone to Opi Agu in Nsukka and Agbani in Nkanu and we are here in Mputu in Ogbaru. If we finish here, we move to Omor Ayamelum.”
.
” We cannot reach out to everybody, but if we reach one or two persons, let them be glad and inspire others. So, wherever you are, remember that some others are experiencing blessings of life while some other people are experiencing economic hardship and that is why we came. We have come to share love and tell you that we love you and we want to hear from you that you love us. But, we will give you Rice and money” Said Fr. George.
