To alleviate the plight of people affected by the
terror attacks of the Islamic terrorist sect, Boko
Haram, the leadership of the Christian Association
of Nigeria (CAN) has declared a day to raise
money for affected Nigerians in the northeast.
CAN has directed all churches across Nigeria to
collect a special offering on Sunday, 7 December,
to use in procuring aid and offering assistance to
the displaced men, women and children in the
terror ravaged states, especially Borno, Yobe and
Adamawa.
The directive was given at the 27th Word of Life
Bible Church annual convention, tagged Jubilee
Word Festival, at the International Gospel Centre,
Warri.
While addressing 943 delegates from 29 states of
the country and Cameroon, the founder of the
church and President of CAN, Pastor Ayo
Oritsejafor, disclosed that Boko Haram insurgents
have shut down several churches in the region.
Oritsejafor revealed to the delegates that CAN
had sent letters to all the churches in the country,
asking them to collect a special offering to
alleviate the hardship of Christians in the north.
