Abuja-based and pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, Bro. Joshua
Iginla, lived up to his tradition of giving succour to the
less-privileged during yet another birthday celebration. A widow,
orphans some dwarfs and the visually impaired recently left his service
in smiles after he touched their lives in no small way.
Mrs. Grace Danladi, the widow who lives in Nasarawa State with her
five kids, having lost her husband, Mr. Sani Danladi to a chronic
disease six years ago, got N1 million and a plot of land in the City of
Wonders from the man of God. A three-bedroom flat apartment was to be
built and furnished for her.
The church met her and her children through its outreach. At the time
her husband died, her last child was one month old and since the demise
of her husband, she has been finding it difficult to finance the
children’s needs through school and also feed them. She washes clothes
as a vocation and earns a paltry N3,000 from this every month. Her five
children also attracted the sympathy from the popular clergy who placed
them on scholarship up to the university level.
Also, two orphans, 19-year-old Nancy and Mary Disi were given hope
again during the service and blessed with N300,000 each. Mary who lives
in Nasarawa State lost her parents in 2012 while Nancy lost hers at a
very tender age of five. Both had hitherto struggled to eat, falling
victims along the line to bad elements who took advantage of them. They
sadly had earlier dropped out of school due to lack of funds. They were
given scholarships by the man of God and a decent accommodation.
The life-touching gesture was also extended some 20 dwarfs who
received the sum of N150,000 each, 20 visually impaired people, each of
who also received N150,000 and a Nollywood producer, Korede who was
blessed with N2 million as a support. Most of the beneficiaries were
Muslims.

Bro. Iginla, during the service revealed that he had the resources to
acquire a private jet but unlike other men of God, he decided to use it
to assist the needy in the society, as that was the number one mandate
God gave to him.
Another beneficiary include an aged couple, Mr. and Mrs. Dabby
Shakari, married for over 80 years, who were part of the beneficiaries
said they had been living in abject poverty and were dejected. Life to
them had been a twinkle and at a point, hopelessness seemed to have set
in because of their continuous suffering. Their condition made them to
wonder how life treated them with so much cruelty. At the occasion, the
man of God instantly blessed them with a cash of N1 million and promised
to build and furnish a befitting house for them within the next two
months. Meanwhile, he has already concluded arrangement to get a decent
accommodation for them immediately while the house is being built.
What’s more, the man of God with a large heart also placed them on a
salary for life while promising to change their wardrobe.
During his birthday celebration last year, the pastor with a large
heart had showered over N23 million on over 100 widows who are members
of his church to alleviate their suffering. As he always says, he is
devoted to empowering the vulnerable particularly the widows, orphans
and the less privileged in the society without minding their religion,
tribe or sectional inclination.
