Founding pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, Kubwa, Abuja, Joshua Iginla, on Sunday June 28, gave away twenty-two cars and several millions of Naira to some Nigerian celebrities and other members of his church.

Pastor Iginla was said to have given those gifts in celebration of his birthday and that of his wife, and also unveiled 33 books he had written.

Popular Nigerian celebrities like Fathia Balogun, Funsho Adeolu, Zack orji, Tope Alabi, Larry Koldsweat and Ireti Oshayemi were said to be beneficiaries of the prophet's good will.

Sources from the church said the pastor had given Funsho Adeolu, Fathia Balogun a Toyota Camry each, an SUV to Zack Orji, Mazda to Larry Koldsweat and an exotic car to Tope Alabi.

According to Leadership, while presenting the gifts, Pastor Iginla also challenged the well-to-do in the society to assist the less-privileged.

The pastor, who said that he had tasted poverty and knew how it felt, said the less-privileged of today could become important personalities tomorrow.

“My birthday is all about giving to the needy. What I do here is just 10 per cent of what I do secretly.

“I give to teach people and to provoke them to give. I have many people on scholarship, I have widows on my payroll, we have rescued prostitutes and empowered them with skills acquisition programmes, I have orphans I am taking care of,” he said.

“I have schools of the handicapped that we have been assisting and the physically-challenged students irrespective of their religions. Gospel is practical, not only spiritual,” he said.

Iginla said this was the third time that he would be giving out all his cars without leaving any one behind for himself.
