KICC IN THE C MMUNITY
Kingsway International Christian Centre’s Noah’s Ark Food Bank (NAFB) Ministry is dedicated to its assignment to take a stand against poverty
Through its outreach initiatives;
Noah’s Ark Food Bank, the
Noah’s Ark Community Kitchen
and Noah’s Ark Cares, the
church is able to bring practical
help to those in need. The team Leader
Minister Peju Oluyomi said: “We believe
we are sent out to disciple the nations
and express the unfailing love of God
to all, particularly those who are going
through a crisis.
“We are the hands, feet, ears and eyes
of Christ. We are to empower people to
overcome poverty and suffering. It’s our
role to reveal Christ to our communities.
As we disciple the people, we aim to
bring them to church and ensure they
settle into regular fellowship.”
THE NAFB MISSION
Team work based on Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
“Two people are better off than one, for
they can help each other succeed. If one
person falls, the other can reach out
and help. But someone who falls alone
is in real trouble. Likewise, two people
lying close together can keep each
other warm. But how can one be warm
alone? A person standing alone can
be attacked and defeated, but two can
stand back-to-back and conquer. Three
are even better, for a triple-braided cord
is not easily broken.
