UPDATE

The Fountain Of Life Church Donations To Jos Victims

In response to the “Jos crisis” which took place in January 2010 in the Dogo na Hauwa, Plateau state, which claimed lots of lives and properties, The Fountain of Life Church in its typical benevolent manner, donated relief items to the victims of the community.

The church mandated the Government Relations Department, to execute this mission by sourcing for and ensuring the effective distribution of the relief items to the victims.  A two-member team comprising of  Mrs. Charity Babatunde [Assistant HOD] and Mr. Olufemi Omopintemi subsequently embarked on a 3 – day visit to Jos, Plateau State (May 17th -19th 2010), to carry out this assignment. The team worked closely with the Christian Urban and Rural Development Association of Nigeria (CRUDAN) a Christian interdenominational non - governmental organization located in Jos, who provided useful information on the community, facilitated meetings with the community leaders and also provided logistic support.

In sourcing the relief items, it was decided that the assistance to be provided, should be items that would empower the people of the community and enable them begin to earn a livelihood again. To this end, the following items were purchased and distributed on behalf of The Fountain of Life Church: 

• 8 Motor cycles
• 9 Water pumps for irrigation purposes
• 4 Sewing Machines

The joy that permeated the community and the gratitude expressed by all, was testimony to the fact that once again, the Lord had used the Fountain of Life Church to touch lives and practically demonstrate the love of Christ.
