The Only Way Out of Recession is To Give More To Churches – Archbishop

 His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, Catholic Archbishop of Abuja, has called on Christians to be more generous to God, saying this could help the nation out of its current economic recession.

Onaiyekan said this in an interview with newsmen during the Foundation Laying of the Cathedral of the Twelve Apostles Cathedral, held at Papal Ground, Kubwa, Abuja on Saturday.

He advised Christians to contribute to projects, especially those that have to do with God and the church, as this would reaffirm their faith in Christ.

He prayed that the nation would continue to grow in peace, prosperity and harmony and move very fast toward coming out of recession.

According to him, when you have good ideas and good intentions to serve the Lord you do not allow any challenges to stop them.

“The time has come for this project to take off after more than 30 years in preparation and we do hope that it will be finished quickly.

“Some people may be asking that in the midst of recession, we are undertaking a project that will cost a lot of money.

“We will go to a good distance in the next few years and depending on how quickly we raise the funds the work will move very fast.’’
