General Overseer of Four Square Gospel Church in Nigeria, Reverend Felix Meduoye, has mocked politicians who are just realising the importance of helping the needy with what they now term as ‘stomach infrastructure.’
As part of activities to mark the Diamond Jubilee celebration of the church, the Rev. boasted that his church has been able to ensure that it reaches out to those in need in every little way it can.
According to him, “At Foursquare church, we are very concerned for the needy. As a matter of fact, caring for the needy is top in our programme. Recently, we began to hear some government functionaries and politicians talk about stomach infrastructure. We actually went into stomach infrastructure years before politicians started talking about it. We have a policy within our system, which we tag, ‘Give them to Eat’.”
He explained that as a church, it is its duty to ensure that those in need are taken care of whether they are non members as this will help reduce the high level of poverty in the country.
“As a church, we have a department called the love ministry. And from time to time, they watch out for the needy, including those that do not relate to the church directly. For instance, we usually read in the media appeals about people that are in need of several amounts of money for surgery or overseas treatment. We assist in such areas too. We have also been assisting victims of the insurgency in the North-East, ” he added.
