Over 500 food packages has been given out to fasting Muslims by the Christ Evangelical Intercessory Fellowship Ministry, Sabon Tasha, Kaduna State.
Pastor Yohanna Buru, the church’s General Overseer, revealed that the food packages and drinks were shared out to the destitute and poor faithful.
He said the church was at the forefront of promoting religious tolerance in Kaduna, adding that the gesture was to deepen peaceful co-existence between Muslims and Christians.
Buru said: “We must support our brothers and sisters with what to eat in these 30 days, in view of the high cost of food items in local markets.”
One of the beneficiaries, Malam Wambai Isa, who is the leader of visually-impaired persons in the state, commended Buru for his relentless efforts to bring succour to the less privileged persons.
