Leader of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) Evelyn Joshua on Tuesday, December 7 distributed bags of rice, clothes and cash gifts to the elderly at the church’s premises in Ikotun, Lagos.
The move was in continuation of her late husband prophet TB Joshua’s foundation of giving.
The recipients thanked the woman of God and Emmanuel TV partners for the gifts.
A message on the church’s Facebook page said the church actually began with the giving ministry. Quoting Joshua, the church said “giving is an assignment from God”.
“Today, December 7, 2021, the woman of God, Mrs Evelyn Joshua had a wonderful time of fellowship with the elderly in the church premises here in Ikotun. During this meeting, she gave these elderly ones bags of rice, clothes and cash gifts. They heartily thanked the woman of God and Emmanuel TV partners for their gifts,” part of the post read.
Reactions to the post showed Evelyn enjoys the approval of members of the church.
“We love you mom, keeping our daddy’s legacy alive. God bless you and the ministry, richly,” Christy Ekpo wrote.
“God bless you Mum for continuing the charity work which our Dad in the Lord left…Amen…May almighty God bless you more,” Violet Makai wrote.
Another Facebook user Stembiso Njobvu said, “God bless you Mama, thank you for showing us the way to go, we honour God’s grace that was upon our father and that is upon you.”
Asides his prophetic, deliverance and healing ministry, Joshua was known for philanthropism, helping victims of flood, earthquakes and similar disasters around the world. He also donated money as COVID-19 relief fund to Lagos State Government.
Meanwhile, Evelyn took charge of her first Sunday service as leader on December 5 for the church’s thanksgiving and reunion service.
It was the first time the church was opening for Sunday worship after nearly two years due to COVID-19.
