Harvesters International Christian Centre has announced a financial support initiative for unemployed members who serve in the church, pledging to pay ₦50,000 monthly for a period of three months, Peak Newspaper reports.
The announcement was made during a recent church service and shared in a video that has since circulated online. According to the church, the programme is designed to provide short-term relief to members who are currently without paid employment but remain actively involved in church service.
Church officials explained that the support is intended to ease basic living expenses while beneficiaries seek sustainable sources of income. The initiative is limited to a three-month period and applies only to unemployed workers who meet the church’s internal criteria.
While details on the number of beneficiaries and funding structure were not disclosed, the church described the move as a welfare intervention rather than a salary or long-term employment arrangement.
The announcement has generated mixed reactions online, with some praising the church for offering practical support amid rising living costs, while others called for clearer guidelines on eligibility and transparency.
Harvesters International Church has not yet released further details on how beneficiaries will be selected or when payments will commence.
