On Friday, July 28, 2023, The Church of Christ in Saboba as part of their annual

Day of Benevolence supported the elderly people in district including orphans, widows, and people of disabilities with food stuff to cushion them in the wake of the lean season.

In a short speech delivered by Minister Niipaak Laar, he emphasized on the mandate of the Church in the community as a lead in transforming society through the Word of God and supporting the under privileged in the community. He cited the Holy Book of Mathew 25:35 “For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in”.
