According to Pastor Ogana, “it is a covenant I entered with God eleven years ago to share gifts to widows, prisoners, orphanages and infants during my birthday anniversary. I started when things were rough with my family with three widows and two infants, but today the number has increased to the glory of God.
Ogana further noted that he had visited Oghara, Jesse, Sapele and Agbor, adding that this year, God directed him to Ethiope East to share gifts of wrappers and clothes to the widows and children in Oviorie and Okpara inland.
He urged them to accept the gifts with joy and happiness, praying that God will bless and favour them as they use the wrappers and protect the infants who will also wear the clothes.
Rev. Fr Solomon Mbahaotu, who spoke earlier at Oviorie and Okpara inland thanked Pastor Ogana for the visit and his generosity, saying that it attracts great blessings from God.
The Cleric noted that the best way to celebrate birthday anniversaries is to give gifts to others, quoting from the scripture in the book of Matthew, he said, “God blesses those who provide for the widows.”
He advised the recipients as they receive the gifts to always remember Pastor Ogana and his family in their prayers for God to bless and replenish him.
The visit climaxed with a refreshment to the widows in each of the communities as provided by Pastor Ambrose Ogana.
