THE Redeemed Christian Church of God, The Father’s Place Parish under Lagos Province 35 on Onike-Iwaya road, Yaba area of Lagos at the weekend expanded the frontiers of evangelism as it partnered a non-profit organization to provide free medical services to hundreds of people living in the host community during its fifth year anniversary celebration.

Specifically, the Parish pastored by Ben Atebe conducted free health examination, distributed free eye-glasses and drugs to residents in Onike/Iwaya area of Yaba in Lagos.

Speaking at the occasion, Atebe said the gesture was informed by giving practical essence and meaning to the biblical injunction of loving and caring for one’s neighbour. “We decided to reach out to the people in this community as part of activities marking our fifth year anniversary. We are also doing this to cater for those who are in need,” Atebe said.

Leading the medical team, Dr. Funmi Shokunbi said the church’s initiative was coming at the right time as many of the residents took for granted their health status and challenges.
