In a heartwarming gesture, the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has announced plans to share foodstuffs, clothes, and other essential items with the general public on Christmas Eve. This charitable initiative aims to bring relief to Nigerians facing hardship and underscore the values of kindness, compassion, and generosity that define the Christmas spirit.
This gesture is a response to the current challenges facing Nigerians
According to Archbishop Emmanuel Ekuri, the church’s leader, “The children of God all over the world shall carry out charity works and humanitarian activities by giving out free food, clothing, and other daily necessities to the poor and vulnerable people.” Ekuri emphasized that this gesture is a response to the current challenges facing Nigerians and urged the federal and state governments to take proactive measures to restore peace and alleviate hardship.
In addition to the Christmas Eve giveaway, the church has also announced the 6th edition of its annual public lecture, themed “Dignity, Service to Humanity,” scheduled to hold next Saturday in Port Harcourt. Ekuri stressed that Nigeria is currently facing a humanitarian crisis and called on leaders to embrace divine principles, renounce discrimination, and prioritize humanity’s well-being.
No country can survive without approaching God for interventions and blessings of the land for peace and human development
The Archbishop’s message was clear: “No country can survive without approaching God for interventions and blessings of the land for peace and human development.” As the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star embodies the spirit of kindness and generosity this Christmas Eve, Nigerians can look forward to a brighter, more compassionate future.
