The lead pastor of Harvesters International Christian Centre, Bolaji Idowu, has launched a financial relief programme for its unemployed church workers.

Addressing the congregation during a recent service, Idowu unveiled a plan to provide a monthly stipend of N50,000 to church leaders who are currently without employment and actively seeking new placements.

This financial aid, designed to offer stability, will be disbursed for a period of three months.

“This is a year we are making a difference — all leaders who are in between jobs. You used to have a job, but you lost it. For the next three months, we will be giving them N50,000 every month,” he said.

“All those who serve in the church in that capacity will receive N50,000 until they get their next jobs. All those leaders serving in the capacity I just mentioned, we will give you N50,000 to stabilise.”

The cleric emphasised that the initiative reflects the church’s core mission of mutual support.

According to Idowu, eligible individuals, who serve in designated leadership capacities within the church, are instructed to register with their pastor or church administrator to access the benefit.

“One of the things the church should do is to be there for one another – to help stabilise,” he said.

“So, if you are in that category, you may want to see your pastor, the church administrator, and register. We trust the fact that you are honest.”

Idowu also shared a broader vision for national restoration, expressing a commitment to independently rebuild churches and schools destroyed by Boko Haram in northern Nigeria.

“One of my big dreams is that all of these churches and schools that Boko Haram bombed in the north, we will start rebuilding them. We will not wait for the government,” he added.
