Africans are historically known to be ever dependent on the western world, but this week, a Nigerian clergyman made history by becoming the first African churchman to send aid to the United States of America.
T.B Joshua’s church,The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) in Lagos, Nigeria on Wednesday made a historic and unheard of move by donating $2250 to a US homeless organisation, the Lord’s Ranch.
The donation surprised many who would never expect a donation from Africa to help the poor in the world’s most powerful and one of the world’s richest of nations, the United States.
Ian Cull of the American news outlet ABC News reported that a local church in the Washington area facilitated the donation of $2250 from The SCOAN to pay for shelter for over 30 men who are either recovering drug addicts or are just homeless.
The money was used to purchase quality weather resistant clothing, plenty of food, and new snow tires for the ranch’s van.
