The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) International Headquarters Annex, Wuye, Abuja, has celebrated outstanding students of the Federal Capital Territory School for the Blind, Jabi, with laptops, cash prizes, and digital walking aids.
The initiative, executed through the church’s outreach arm, We Care Ministry, was aimed at promoting academic excellence and showing compassion to the less privileged.
According to a statement released on Sunday, the church awarded the overall best graduating student, Godwin Lazarus, with a brand-new laptop. The second-best graduate, Miss Aishat Isah, received ₦100,000, while the third-best, Master Alfred Yahaya, was given ₦50,000. All graduating students also received digital walking aids with sensors to enhance mobility and independence.
Presenting the gifts on behalf of MFM’s General Overseer, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, the Senior Regional Overseer of MFM Wuye, Edwin Etomi, said the gesture aligns with the biblical call in James 1:27 to care for the needy.
“This award reflects the passion of our General Overseer and his wife for academic excellence,” Etomi said. “Beyond this, they have consistently offered scholarships and other forms of support, enabling young people to achieve their dreams and contribute positively to society.”
He added that Dr. Olukoya’s philanthropy extends to welfare programmes that benefit the underprivileged regardless of religion or ethnicity, a commitment that earned him recognition as one of Africa’s 100 most reputable figures.
Leader of We Care Ministry, Joy Uno, and her assistant, Collins Nwachukwu, described the outreach as a vision inspired by Olukoya to show love to the needy. They explained that the ministry runs social and community development projects such as Food Evangelism, which provides meals to inmates in correctional centres and police stations, as well as support for orphans, abandoned persons, persons with disabilities, and ex-inmates.
“Through our outreach, we share the message of salvation, repentance, and restoration in Jesus Christ to those often overlooked by society,” Uno said.
The Head Teacher of the FCT School for the Blind, Mrs. Hafsat Umar Isah, thanked the church for its consistent support and kindness towards the school and its students.
