About church and philanthropic works in Nigeria
Church and philanthropic works has taken place in Nigeria over the years. However, Nigerian churches and pastors have not been publicizing their philanthropic activities for obvious reasons.
Probably, they don’t want to be like the hypocrites who give out to the poor and to the society and turn it into a news events to show off. However, we still have to let the public know some of these philanthropic works by the church.
Jesus said we should let our works so shine before men. We have a responsibility to let the world know that we are also fulfilling the commandments of God in the area of giving back to the community.
