House On The Rock Project Spread Reaches 2,400 Families

It was an unforgettable weekend for 2,400 families across 4 communities in Lagos as the House on The Rock last Saturday , December 20th held an outreach to distribute gift items to the less privileged as part of its outreach programme, Project SPREAD in the spirit of Christmas._MG_9270
The Christmas-themed giveaway comprised food items and free medical supplies to the families. According to reports, the outreach was done simultaneously in 4 locations: Makoko, Ijesha, Lagos Island (Isale Eko) and Jakande communities across Lagos state. Free health supplements and supplies were also distributed with on-the-spot medical checkups for the adults and children present.

The senior pastor, House on the Rock Church, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, who visited some of the locations, presented gifts to the people and encouraged them with uplifting words. One of the beneficiaries could not hold her excitement as she commented “When they gave me the ticket, I did not believe them but thank God. I have never seen this kind of thing before. The pastor give (sic) me food stuffs and he also give (sic) my baby money”._MG_9321
In a chat with the pressmen immediately afterwards, Pastor Adefarasin said Christmas is all about giving hence the House on the Rock church’s commitment to putting smiles on the faces of the people who may not have been able to afford to celebrate the yuletide. “Lagos State can be better than it is but the church must play her part” he added._MG_9269
The children had a great time as there was a party for them at the different locations with a lot to eat and drink. In the end, the kids and adults all went home with gifts, food items and a smile.
