A non-governmental organisation under the auspices of Newphase Gospel Club, an arm of Newphase Gospel Church, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to introduce policies that would allete the sufferings of the less privileged Nigerians.

The senior pastor of the church, Matthew Agada who made this known yesterday during the donation of food items and toiletries to orphans in Mararaba, Nasarawa State, said the initiative was in line with the understanding of God’s plan and purpose for humanity, which emphasizes love as enshrined in the Bible.

Agada who also advised that policies meant for alleting suffering should be implemented selflessly, explained that Nigerians, especially Christians should live by example, especially by showing love to those who do not have hope.

“Serving God is love, the Bible says he sent his only begotten Son, because of love into this world. And Christ came and expressed that love with His whole life, the Bible says he went about doing good, it is the footsteps of Christ that we are following.

“The best way to prove that you have accepted the gospel of Christ is to practically use the gospel. And that’s by showing love to those that need to be cared for, they need food and other important issues.
