Prophet Orovwuje To Feed Over 1000 Children During Church Program In Warri

Throughout Christendom, the Church accumulated a social role, besides its fundamental spiritual role, which includes the responsibility for education, healthcare, and charity.

Prophet Christson Orovwuje, Senior Pastor Pacesetters Prophetic Interdenominational Ministry, Warri, asserted in correspondence to newsmen on Monday 11, December 2023, while unveiling the January 2024 ‘God of Suddenly’ event and the intention of the ministry to feed over 1000 children at the event.

He said, “Christian Social Responsibility (CSR) is a faith-based obligation to meet societal needs through the demonstration of love that positively impacts communities and individuals, stressing that CSR has its roots in Christianity and the Church is meant to be an example for the world to follow according to Matt. 5:16.

He bemoaned the rate of hunger faced by some families, particularly children, saying starvation is a very serious humanitarian problem in both developing and developed countries that requires everybody’s attention.

He quoted, “The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported in 2012 that an estimate of 870 million people was undernourished mostly in Africa, noting that the World Health Organization estimates the daily adequate food rate at between 2,300 and 2,500 calories, and that the worst is, nearly 6 million children under the age of 5 years die of starvation each year (Oxford Atlas of the World, 104)”.

Stating that these statistics show how difficult it is for many people in the world and even in developed countries to put food on their tables. “Therefore we have to be very concerned and try to do what we can to help the less privileged as a Ministry”, he maintained.

“Of course, we clearly understand that a government has to create the conditions for feeding its people. However, it’s not solely the government’s responsibility to assist the hungry. As both citizens and Christians, we have to play our role in helping feed the hungry as Jesus used to do during his ministry in the world”, he said.

While urging Warri metropolitans to attend the event, he reminded the public that Christian Social Responsibility is not to seek commendation from men but to show the love of Christ and be a blessing to our community.
