Church youth lead outreach to boost community skills
The Redeemed Christian Church of God Divine Assembly, Alapere, recently organised its annual The Priceless Gift outreach, focusing on youth leadership and community support. The event was uniquely led by junior members, who distributed 500 gift packs and school bags to children in the local area. Under the mentorship of professionals, young participants gained experience in public speaking, project coordination, and event management. The initiative also included advocacy for child welfare and appeals to government policymakers.
