998jjjj8164555465718868823 Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, the esteemed founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), has revealed ambitious plans for the upcoming Christ Compassion Crusade, scheduled to take place from the 6th to the 11th of November 2023 in Igbogbo Baiyeku LCDA of Ikorodu. During a recent broadcast on his Kicconline channel's "Morning Glow" program, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo shared heartwarming updates on the preparations for the crusade, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to bringing hope and support to the rural world. The Christ Compassion Crusade's preparations have been nothing short of remarkable. The dedicated team behind the event has already secured a significant quantity of essential supplies, including one thousand bags of Garri, 30 thousand bags of soaps, 24 thousand printed exercise books, 10 thousand buckets, 10 thousand bags of salt, 10 thousand bags of sugar, and two solid generators, one of which is a 350kVA powerhouse. In addition to these tangible resources, Pastor Matthew emphasized the importance of collaboration and spiritual guidance. The crusade team has convened with 320 pastors on the ground to ensure the event's effectiveness, highlighting the spirit of unity and purpose. Healthcare is a prominent component of the Christ Compassion Crusade. The medical outreach aims to serve over 30 thousand people, with plans to provide 10 thousand deworming tablets for children. Furthermore, free surgeries will be conducted at the Ikorodu General Hospital, benefiting over 200 individuals. Quick tests for malaria, diabetes, and blood pressure, along with eye and dental care, will also be available. To facilitate the event's logistics, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo announced that 15 buses will be rented throughout the week. This effort alone is expected to cost £1,500. He called upon individuals led by the Holy Spirit to contribute their financial resources to support this noble cause. Pastor Matthew concluded his address with a powerful declaration, stating that Ikorodu has generously provided the land for the event. During the week-long program, he anticipates that "the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and the hand of God will be stretched across Ikorodu division," promising to expose and eliminate the powers of darkness. The Christ Compassion Crusade is a non-denominational initiative that transcends boundaries, emphasizing community support. Among the extensive aid planned are 50 thousand bags of rice, 50 thousand bags of beans, 10 thousand bottles of cooking oil, 25 thousand schoolbooks, 25 thousand quality children's clothing, 15 thousand colourful Ankara materials, and 5 thousand reading glasses.
