Residents of Lagos State have benefitted from free medical outreaches organised by Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, Lekki Mega Regional Headquarters.

The church likewise distributed free food items to members of the public irrespective of their religious affiliations or tribes, to ameliorate the suffering occasioned by hunger in the land.

The free medical outreaches, as well as the food gifting, covered Lekki, Epe community, Noforija, Lakowe, Eleko, Igbo-Efon, Owode Forest, Alpha Beach, to mention a few.

MFM, through its ‘We Care’ ministry, donated foodstuffs, provisions, and toiletries to inmates in Kirikiri and Ikoyi Correctional Centers.

Speaking with the press, the Senior Regional Overseer/Mega Regional Overseer in charge of MFM Lekki Mega Regional Axis, Pastor Dr. Moses Adebowale, said the gesture is part of the Explosive Evangelism Initiative (EEI), a vision of the General Overseer, MFM Worldwide, Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, targeted to win souls for Christ as well as to minister to the physical needs of the people apart from the biblical teachings and deliverance prayers the church is known for.

Adebowale stressed that the joy of MFM Lekki is to put smiles on the faces of both the members of the church and members of the host communities through its several welfare and corporate social responsibility programmes.

The pastor said Lekki and its environs, and Lagos State in general, through the church’s deliverance prayers, have continued to experience peace, just as the church, through seminars and trainings, ensures that its members are transformed positively and serve as agents of transformation to others.

On the free medical outreaches, Adebowale said the outreaches provided different medical tests such as: Packed Cell Volume (PCV) test, malaria, typhoid, full blood count, HIV/AIDS, and random blood sugar tests.

Patients also received treatment for various ailments, including malaria, hypertension, diabetes, sexually transmitted infections, gastrointestinal disorders, as well as dental and eye defects.

Some residents were given corrective eyeglasses, while others with more serious conditions were referred to tertiary hospitals for further care.

Adebowale explained that, aside from the medical outreach, the church also awarded full scholarships to indigent but brilliant students, gave cash gifts to widows to start businesses of their choice, while the youths and young adults were trained in different entrepreneurial skills to empower and make them independent financially.

He said the church ensures that worshippers in its Sunday services go home with food packs for themselves and their families, with free transportation arrangements to ease movement of members to the church and back home.
