In 2016, when @AlderConsulting developed Nigeria's first #StateOfChurch report, certain things about the Nigerian Christian Church became obvious. #RCCGLoveInAction
At the time, Nigerian churches were abysmally bad at #socialmedia and youth related issues. They didn't quite know how to confront or address rapid adoption of technology and social challenges like porn addiction. #RCCGLoveInAction
I'm glad to say that in the 2 years since @AlderConsulting's #StateOfChurch report, Nigerian churches have risen to the occasion. Some churches have mastered media. Some employ professional therapists to help young people to tackle addictions. #RCCGLoveInAction
Today, the present challenge surrounding the Nigerian church interestingly, is centred on money. It's no wonder really. #RCCGLoveInAction
Globally, #Nigeria has the largest number of desperately poor people and out-of-school kids, as well as a shocking child mortally rate. #RCCGLoveInAction
Because the very foundation of the church is built on love and giving, people give a LOT to churches. The Christian seed principle means people sow in faith when they don't have much. Churches have thus become huge repositories with central control structures. #RCCGLoveInAction
Having travelled in Asia, I understand citizens in similarly poor circumstances give of what little they have, to their gods and temples. So, the issue is not giving per se, but how the funds are dispensed for the good of humanity. #RCCGLoveInAction
Churches must spend more on people and less on administration. They must also institute good governance, as power corrupts. #RCCGLoveInAction
In Nigeria, there is huge distrust of Pastors, especially by non adherents. The #StateofChurch Report makes this clear. #RCCGLoveInAction
Yet, many also admit that the church does a lot to help the poor & disadvantaged. And, they say the church should focus on helping the less privileged. #RCCGLoveInAction
When @AlderConsulting was approached by @RCCGhq's @HisLoveFDN to help structure the ministry's CSR activities, I was very glad. Redeemed has created a global, independent & professionally managed foundation to utilise church funds for the good of others. #RCCGLoveInAction
There is no doubt that @RCCHHQ is a global colossus. When fully deployed, @HisLoveFDN will be on the same scale as Catholic Charities and The Rockefeller Foundation. @RCCGHQ is in 197 nations of the world and has 43,000 parishes. #RCCGLoveInAction
I am pleased to announce that @HisLoveFDN will focus on 6 core areas: Health, Hunger, Prisons, Education, Social Enterprise and Rehabilitation. Here are some stats on the church's current initiatives. #RCCGLoveInAction
The overall mission of @HisLoveFDN is, “Help for the helpless. Hope for the hopeless. Food for the hungry. Strength for the weak.” #RCCGLoveInAction
In December, @HisLoveFDN will feed 50 million in 197 countries. Please walk into a Redeemed church near you to be fed. #RCCGLoveInAction
I have every confidence that @HisLoveFDN will succeed. It's led by Pastor Iluyomade, the SA to the General Overseer on CSR. Coincidentally, he also leads the Apapa Family of @RCCGHQ, renowned for setting standards in leadership, governance & CSR. #RCCGLoveInAction
To learn more about @HisLoveFdn, please follow its social media handles and tune into its live press conference on Facebook on Sunday, December 2. #RCCGLoveInAction
After the Press Conference, you will be able to download @HisLoveFDN's Annual Report at hislovefoundation.com. I admire the foundation's fiscal responsibility and accountability. #RCCGLoveInAction
