Now that's worth applauding!

Just yesterday, in one of my post, “The present state of the church today”, I mentioned how church leaders spend lavishly and live large at the expense of church members and how they could do more for the society. Well today I’m happy to share what I found in the news with you.  

According to reports, Bishop David Oyedepo, The founder of Living Faith Church International popularly called Winners Chapel, has donated N40 million for the purchase of science equipment for four community schools in Omu-Aran, Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State. The benefiting schools include Omu-Aran High School, Ofe-Aram Commercial College,  Ogbo Grammar School and Aperan Comprehensive College. The bishop who himself is an indigene of Omu Aran   donated the money for the rehabilitation of Science Laboratories in the community.

Another Prophet TB Joshua of The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) who is already well known for his philanthropic work also gave out £100,000 (that’s about N26million) to Yinka oduwole, a Nigerian student to study for PhD in the University of Oxford. Forbes estimated that Prophet Joshua has spent up to $20m in charitable activities alone in the last three years. Thousands of less privileged students are currently studying in universities across Nigeria and around the world courtesy of his scholarship program.

Now this is what I’m talking about (#Smiles) and I think leaders who do these kind of things should be applauded. I’m sure a lot others are doing one or two things to contribute to the society too that have not been heard. I am also sure a lot of other church leaders can learn for these and be pushed into doing more for their communities.

What's your 'view'?
