The Christ Evangelical Intercessory Fellowship Ministry of
Nigeria in Kaduna, on Wednesday
distributed over 1,000 packaged food and drinks
to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), destitute and widows to mark Sallah
celebration.
The General Overseer of the church, Pastor Yohanna Buru,
said that gesture was aimed at promoting peaceful co-existence between Muslims
and Christians in the country.
Buru led a team of Christian and Muslim youths to distribute
the food, including clothes to inmates of Kaduna Central Prison and IDPs at
Badarawa, Ungwan Dosa, Barakallau and Rigasa, all located in the northern part
of Kaduna metropolis.
“We see it as a duty to support our brothers with food so
that they can join other Muslims around the world to celebrate Eid-El-Fitr.
“The bible teaches us to love our neighbours as we love
ourselves; as such, as Christian clerics we are simply obeying the teaching of
the holy book.
“This is the fifth year we are distributing food and drinks
to the less privilege, inmates and widows during Sallah period as well as
donate clothes to orphanages, “Buru said.
Also speaking, Pastor Maxwell Sanda, who was in the
entourage, noted that some Muslim brothers always join Christians to celebrate
Christmas and New Year.
“Today we are here to extend hands of love to the needy and
those in distress as God will expect of all humanity,”
