An Ecuadorian pastor Modesta Montero said on Thursday that the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) Prophet T. B. Joshua rebuilt a school destroyed by earthquake in Ecuador.
He told the news media at Joshua’s lying-in-state that the clergyman donated $400,000 to the school and built an information technology centre for the community.
Montero added that Joshua taught him that “Christian life is practical and should be lived out of love for others”.
Manager of Super Sport, DSTV Felix Awogu said that Joshua had been a major financier of sports in Nigeria.
He said that the prophet pulled the national team out of financial crisis during the 2013 Nation’s Cup.
According to him, the prophet donated a huge sum of money to the national team to support the project.
“A lot of people don’t know what he has done for sports in Nigeria, he made us become successful in sports.
“He has also been a major supporter of special sports for disabled athletes in Nigeria.
“I wonder how they are going to survive. He was supporting them quietly,” Awogu said.
He also said that Joshua donated $150,000 to support the Olympic Village Project in Brazil.
“He was so passionate about sports that he had a football club called My People FC, which has produced a lot of young players in the national team,” Awogu added.
Joshua died after a church service at the SCOAN on June 5, few days to his 58th birthday.
He will be buried on Friday, July 9.
