The Peculiar People\u2019s Centre for Deliverance Through Evangelism, a branch of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church in Kubwa, Abuja, has donated a solar-powered borehole to the Paze Community in Byazhin Across, as part of its ongoing community development efforts.<\/p>\n

The borehole project, inaugurated on Saturday, was dedicated to the Church\u2019s 20th anniversary celebration and its commitment to practical evangelism.<\/p>\n

On his part, the Senior Pastor Alex Ogundipe said the intervention was born out of compassion and a desire to follow the example of Christ through acts of service.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just about preaching; Jesus met people\u2019s physical needs too,\u201d Ogundipe said. \u201cWhen we came here for evangelism and saw how badly they needed water, we decided to take action.\u201d<\/p>\n

He explained that the borehole was designed to reduce water-borne diseases and ease the burden on women and children who often walked long distances to fetch water.<\/p>\n

Pastor Ogundipe also revealed that the church had established a management team in the community to oversee the borehole\u2019s usage and maintenance. He hinted at the possibility of more projects if the current one is properly maintained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re watching how they manage this borehole. If they do well, we\u2019ll come back and possibly drill another,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Also speaking at the event, Pastor Kayode Aliyu of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement in Gwarinpa, highlighted the spiritual symbolism of the gesture, referencing Exodus 15:27, where the Israelites found rest and water in Elim.<\/p>\n

The Chairperson of the Church\u2019s Anniversary Committee, Mrs Margaret Ohenhen said the initiative stemmed from a need the church discovered during an outreach visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw people lining up at a lone tap, struggling to fetch water. That image stayed with us, and we knew we had to help,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Chief of Paze Community, Saidu Ibrahim, expressed deep appreciation to the church and called on the government to follow suit with additional infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re grateful to the church. But we still need roads, electricity, and schools,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mrs Chioma Mba, the Women Leader in the community, described the impact as life-changing, especially for women.<\/p>\n

\u201cPregnant women used to walk to the stream with buckets on their heads. This borehole is a miracle. It gives us hope,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The project was received with joy by residents, who said it marked a turning point in their daily lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
