Church provides complimentary health checks and medication to 500 individuals in Ogun
In Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, a significant health
initiative was recently conducted by the Glorious Liberty Church, benefitting
approximately 500 local inhabitants.
This free health service included checks for common health
issues such as malaria, typhoid, hypertension, and blood sugar levels. In a
collaborative effort with Beth-help Foundation, the church also distributed
food and clothing to over 1,500 elderly individuals.
During the event, which took place at the church premises,
Senior Pastor Richard Osanaiye emphasized that all medications were provided at
no cost. Additionally, some attendees received complimentary eye exams and
prescription glasses from an ophthalmologist present at the event.
Pastor Osanaiye reaffirmed the church's dedication to
ongoing free medical services for the community, noting that such initiatives
are part of GLC Global’s vision to support the underprivileged.
He mentioned that the church frequently organizes events to
distribute food and medical aid, especially focusing on those suffering from
high blood pressure and malaria. This particular event catered to around 1,500
people, providing them with food, clothing, and medical services.
Highlighting the plight of senior citizens, widows, and
others unable to work or lacking familial support, Pastor Osanaiye suggested
the need for government strategies to assist these groups. He referenced
biblical teachings about caring for the elderly and widows, noting the church's
role in supporting those without caretakers.
In a related development, Adeshina Ogunsola, Chairman of the
Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area, called on corporations and philanthropists
in December 2023 to contribute to community development. He emphasized that
community improvement is a collective responsibility and that such
contributions can significantly alleviate people's hardships.
