The Brotherhood of the Cross and Star (BCS) has announced a global initiative across its Bethels to engage in charitable works, humanitarian efforts, an Open Kitchen, and the celebration of International Vegetarian Day by distributing free food, clothing, and essential items to the poor and vulnerable.
BCS spokesperson, Patriarch Christ Shepherd, Dr. Amah Williams, highlighted during a press interaction on Monday that this humanitarian effort will extend beyond the BCS Headquarters to all Bethels, with measures in place to prevent overcrowding.
Dr. Amah mentioned that the free food distribution is part of the activities planned for the 2024 celebration of the Divine Manifestation of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, which will take place at the World Headquarters, located at 34 Ambo Street, Calabar, Cross River State, from December 23 to December 31, 2024.
He stated, “BCS members will also visit orphanages and homes for the destitute, conducting activities to assist the less fortunate in various locations worldwide. This effort honours Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, which reflects his teachings and practices.”
He also announced that members will fast, engage in prison ministry in different states and nations, and remember the suffering and death of Jesus Christ for humanity on December 26, 2024, with these observances happening in all BCS Bethels.
The event will culminate on December 31, 2024, featuring a foot-washing ceremony for all Christ ambassadors by the Holy Father, a Biakpan language singing competition, BCS Art and Merit awards, global prayers, and the Father’s New Year message.
Lastly, he emphasized the importance of recognizing that the solutions to the many challenges facing humanity today can be found in the teachings of Leader Olumba Olumba Obu, as expressed in His Everlasting Gospels.
