Over 2,000 residents in Lekki, Ikota and Ajah communities in Lagos State benefitted from the evangelization and generosity carried out by the Ladies of St. Mulumba Nigeria, Lekki-Sub Council at the weekend.
During the programme, food, water, bibles, rosaries, catechism books and other items worth over N1 million were distributed free to excited individuals that included children, women, widows and the less privileged.
According to the President of the group, Lady Nnenne Ukairo, members of the Ladies of St Mulumba are wives of Knights of St Mulumba, Nigeria, an honored Order in the Catholic Church, and the charity outreach is one of the key roles of the Order.
The evangelization outreach focused on three locations, made up of two outstations: St Rita and St Theresa Ikota, using our Mother of Perpetual Help Parish Ajah for the Ajah community.
Ukairo noted that LSM, Lekki SubC understood that a hungry man or woman needs food before listening to the gospel in line with the attributes of Jesus Christ in feeding the hungry, adding that it is a demonstration of goodwill that Jesus loves them.
She expressed happiness at the reception they got, adding that the majority of people were excited and even asking for more bibles and other religious items that will aid their worship of God.
The people were warm and very receptive of the items distributed.
