Cleric tasks churches on social responsibility

International Miracle Service and Evangelistic Ministries' Lead Pastor, Andrew Umoru, has urged churches to incorporate social responsibility alongside their gospel preaching. He emphasized that churches have a duty to address the health, welfare, and other needs of their host communities, stating that preaching salvation should be accompanied by practical interventions to alleviate human suffering.

During a visit to Agbowa-Ikosi, Umoru spoke about the upcoming Agbowa Miracle Crusade, which will include a youth forum, a children's forum, and a free medical outreach. The crusade, themed "Emi Ni: It is I, Be not afraid," aims to provide relief to individuals facing health challenges and economic hardship, with medical professionals offering free healthcare services.

Oba Saheed Momson, the Abowa of Agbowa-Ikosi, expressed support for the initiative and requested increased attention to infrastructure and economic development in the community.
