The two-week camp, which ends today, aimed at assisting children who may have found it difficult to attend extra classes in order to keep up with their school syllabus. The camp was spearheaded by the church and volunteers.

The church said that it believes in “doing things in a practical way” as well as demonstrating love and action to the society, hence the formation of the camp.
The camp is being funded by the Director of the Power of God church, Ms. Diane Anthony who also serves as a welfare leader and women’s leader.
Meanwhile, the idea behind this church is not only about preaching but more about being a social group to assist not only Christians but persons of other religious faiths in order to eliminate negativity and promote optimism in their lives via counseling, bible sessions and other activities.

This ministry was formed last July and has been active ever since as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). It operates on the principles of the bible and does not demand compulsory tithes or offerings from anyone besides donations.
Meanwhile, when the camp concludes today participants will be given back-to-school items on behalf of the church as well as certificates for their participation.
