We also rendered financial support to various organisations in support of their own humanitarian and charitable activities Other Charitable activities Other charitable activities include spreading the Word of God among all nations and announcing the good news of the Kingdom of God to the poor in spirit. This was done through our Spiritual Wor5hip5 which are open to the general public, revivals, healings, and evangelism which are conducted to Stimulate spiritual awareness among the people, seminars and symposia which are organised for people to know and understand more about the Word of God Financial Sources The church income comes mainly from the weekly tithes and church building funds, other church contributions such as thanksgiving, annual conference, travel, and music funds.
