While addressing the elders, who were visibly happy over the visit, Onagbola explained that the outreach is a way of identifying with the elders, while praying to God to increase their days in sound mind and body.
“We all pray that we grow old and when we are old, we will have our children around us who will take care of you, just like you have care givers, who are taking good care of you.
“We love you and so we want to identify with you in commemoration of our 21st anniversary,” Onagbola said.
He disclosed that the weeklong activities will end today at the church’s premises.
