Prophet T.B Joshua of The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) is one man of God that is committed to doing good to others. The popular man of God has revealed his many involvements in humanitarian projects…
Prophet T.B Joshua
“The SCOAN is involved in extensive humanitarian projects worldwide. We have expended more than $20m on charitable activities. The church has also donated large amounts of money to assist orphans, widows, elderly, physically challenged and destitute.”
“There is also a rehabilitation programme for militants from Nigeria’s volatile Niger Delta region, repentant armed robbers and sex workers who came to the church for ‘deliverance’. I join my team in several of the humanitarian journeys we undertake to the less privileged.”
“My followers celebrated my birthday on June 12th last year by assisting less-privileged individuals in their societies. My corporate social responsibility initiatives have taken me to several communities. We’ve come to the aid of several communities in distress. We provided two transformers to a local community after theirs was burnt beyond repair.”
“We also donated over N26m towards restoring electricity and putting an end to over two years of power outage in four councils in Akoko area of Ondo State, besides several donations to the police force in Nigeria, Ghana and Colombia. In terms of scholarships and disaster relief, the church has a ‘scholarship program’ which caters for the academic needs of students in their thousands, ranging from primary to tertiary education.”
“In 2012 alone, I sponsored a Nigerian student doing a PhD in Oxford University. I also gave a scholarship to a young Motswana to study at Harvard Law School in America. After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, I sent a team of medical personnel and humanitarian workers to the affected area, establishing a field hospital called ‘Clinique Emmanuel’.”
“I equally sent support to nations such as Philippines, India and Ghana in the wake of varying natural disasters. The ‘Emmanuel TV Team’ also assisted victims of the earthquake that struck the nation of Ecuador in April 2016, providing over $500,000 worth of humanitarian assistance.”
“We have also touched these areas. In education and support for migrants and deportees, we funded the building and running of a school in Lahore, Pakistan named ‘Emmanuel School’. We also rebuilt a school in a rural area destroyed by the 2016 Ecuador earthquake. I traveled to Ecuador for the opening of the school in June 2017.”
“Several groups of Nigerians attempting illegal travel to Europe through Libya have been supported at The SCOAN, following their deportation from the North African nation with only the clothes on their backs. Stories of the harsh conditions they encountered and my subsequent support made headlines in several local newspapers.”
“Also not left out in my humanitarian gestures are sports. In 2009, I started a football club, My People FC, as part of efforts to help the youth. Two members of the team played for Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets in the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup. Sani Emmanuel apparently lived in The SCOAN for several years. He was Nigeria’s top-scorer and the tournament’s MVP.”
“Emmanuel and his colleague Ogenyi Onazi signed professional contracts with SS Lazio while Onazi a key player signed for the Nigerian Senior Team, the Super Eagles. I also supported the career of WBO International Light Middleweight boxing champion, King Davidson Emenogu financially.”
“The pugilist had prophesied that he would be a world-boxing champion. My humanitarian awards had no boundaries. In recognition of my humanitarian activities, I received a letter of appreciation from the United Nations. I was further honoured as an Ambassador of Peace by the Arewa Youth Forum, a predominantly Muslim organization as well as an ‘award of excellence’ by ZAKA, Israel’s primary rescue and recovery voluntary service.”
