As part of its ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts, the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), South-South 7 Regional Headquarters popularly known as Wonder City in Ikom, Cross River State has reached out to government-owned primary schools in the region with the donation of free educational materials. This gesture is aimed at supporting pupils amid the current economic difficulties facing many Nigerian families.
The outreach, which benefited several schools including St. Martins Primary School, Holy Child Covenant School, Presbyterian Primary School, Government Primary School, and Primary School Grassfield, saw the distribution of 500 school bags, 4,000 big notebooks, 2,000 pens, 2,000 pencils, 2,000 erasers, and 2,000 sharpeners. The materials were given freely to hundreds of pupils, many of whom had been attending school with limited or worn-out supplies.
Speaking at the distribution event, the Regional Overseer of MFM Ikom and Chairman of MFM Regions in the Ikom Axis, Pastor Morenikeji Jesusina, emphasized that the initiative was designed to cushion the effects of economic hardship on families and to reinforce the value of education. “Education is the most powerful weapon that can change the world,” he declared, citing MFM’s broader commitment to educational empowerment across the region.
Pastor Jesusina stressed that the church’s contribution went beyond material aid. “For many pupils, receiving a school bag filled with supplies not only provided practical support but also served as a symbol of care and hope,” he said. He explained that such interventions are part of MFM’s mission to “give back to society and restore the dignity and confidence of young learners,” especially those in underserved communities.
In addition to the academic tools distributed, pupils also received spiritual blessings through prayers and prophetic declarations, which Pastor Jesusina noted were meant to inspire and positively shape the destinies of the children. He added that MFM believes education must be supported with both material and spiritual encouragement for holistic development.
Highlighting other ongoing CSR efforts by the church, Jesusina mentioned Operation No Member Must Go Hungry, a program that delivers weekly food and cash support to struggling members; Jesus Market, a church-run food store where items are sold at 75% subsidized rates; 25% tuition support for church members enrolled in private universities; and regular food donations to widows, orphanages, and correctional facilities, often spearheaded by the youth wing of the church.
The intervention was met with overwhelming appreciation from both pupils and school authorities. Teachers, parents, and school administrators described the gesture as rare, timely, and deeply impactful. According to them, the donations have not only eased the financial burden on families but have also brought smiles and renewed enthusiasm among the young learners.
“The joy was contagious,” said one of the teachers at Presbyterian Primary School. “In that moment, the classrooms were brighter—not just with supplies, but with the light of hope.” Another parent thanked the church for bridging the gap left by insufficient government support, noting that for many families, these materials were out of financial reach.
The outreach has further positioned MFM Wonder City as a leading example of faith-based commitment to social development. The Ikom Regional Headquarters has consistently aligned its spiritual mission with social responsibility, reaching out to the vulnerable and empowering communities in real and measurable ways.
Observers within the Ikom axis have praised the church’s proactive approach to societal needs, noting that it reflects a model of service-oriented religious leadership. Many hope the gesture will inspire other faith-based organizations and civil society groups to emulate such impactful community-driven initiatives.
