@Mbulela,
[b]You already made the all important point. I wonder why you feel you owe the fellow an explanation about your denomination. This is the biggest problem with the Church, why are we quick to put the denominal lines ahead even when we are not under any pressure to do so. Shouldn't we be one United BODY, One LORD, One FAITH,one BAPTISM to the glory of God, Knowing that at His appearance there will be no this or that denomination or who has the largest church or who spoke in tongues or who didn't or who preached or who prophesied as long as we stayed united and focus on our calling and ultimately on Jesus that's all that matter[/b]s.

Secondly, House on the Rock is not organising The Experience for Just House on the Rock folks or Christians, It is a Worship Experience for all who will come or who dare believe God can use the medium to meet them at the point of their needs. These folks put in a lot of Prayers and 21 days fastings, Time, Money and sacrifice a lot each year and all I expect other belivers to do is PRAY, PRAY and PRAY for them, because if it fails we all as His Church fail. Let the hand not say I'm not the leg, or the head etc and so I am not part of the Body. We are indeed one body in christ.

thirdly, you were spot on to speculate Possibility of House on the Rock doing stuff for the Home-less and hungry. Let me acquaint the fellow you were addressing (and you too if you don't mind) about care for hungry, naked and destitute. As you rightly  said many churches are doing it and don't have to invite the press. See, even if we do with the right motive, the world and haters will still see something wrong with it.

House on the Rock has been empowering a lot of people. Last year they bought Motor bikes for some former Area boys(now called Jesus boys), most of them have been gainfully employed, Boreholes have been drilled in immediate communities around Onikan, There is the Prison ministry where the church have been providing legal representation to help free many who are unjustly languishing in jail plus last year House on the Rock Provided A brand new vehicle to the prison officials support the prison logistics.
They have Ministries like Benevolence/care where they pay rents, provide food stuff and cloth people who will come forward with such issue. There are kids of non church members  on scholarship sponsored by House on the rock. This is to mention but a few. Please you are free to call at the church office or Muson centre on Sunday . This is my home Church in Nigeria and I can't tell you what those branches in diaspora are doing , not to sound like a debate. Again this is for the education of the guy who threw in that senseless one liner and not you. Be blessed.

Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State yesterday read the riot act to security agencies guarding the militant camp in Aluu to restrict their movements within the camp while those not resident in the facility should stay away pending when their allowances are ready.
He also warned that the intention of providing the facility was for the purpose of keeping militants from within the State as against the camping of reformed militants from all parts of the Niger Delta, adding that those from other states should be held in their States.
He agreed that the former militants should not continue to stay in the camp but said it was entering into talks with the federal government on how to properly locate them to avoid the threats they posed to law abiding citizens.
Amaechi who spoke through the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Magnus Ngei Abe when he went with all the security chiefs in the state to pay a solidarity visit to the University of Port Harcourt warned that having benefitted from amnesty does not mean that they were free to commit crimes, adding that those who violate the laws of the land would be made to face justice.
He pledged that there would be no repeat occurrence of what happened when the militants stormed out of their camps destroying properties, looting personal effects and raping girls in the open as all measures have been put in place to check a repeat.
“I feel pained at what happened and please help me convey my deepest sympathy to the university community. We have done everything to ensure we brought the situation under control. The idea we had about the camp was that it was for rehabilitation of the ex-militants and that they would be very busy and useful to society during their retraining.
“Another thing is that we had the impression that every militant would be camped in his State and when we provided the camp, it was for the maximum capacity of not more than 700 people but we hear they are more than 7,000 from Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and other States. People in each state should be processed and retrained in their own states and keeping all of them here is not acceptable or practicable option.
“We condemn in totality what happened and we shall ensure that anyone who commits an offence under the guise of amnesty will be made to face the law. Amnesty finished on October 4 and any crime committed thereafter is not covered by it”, he warned.
He appealed to the university to plead with its workers’ unions which went on strike in protest of the attacks to go back to work while the girls who were raped should be identified and treated.

On the demand to relocate the militants, he said the Governor has spoken with the federal government whose response was still being awaited, adding, “I do not think it is practicable to allow the militants to continue to stay in the camp”.
[b]Later, a 21 year old student of the university who claimed to be a virgin said she was pushed to the bare floor and deflowered without condom by the hoodlums who also stole her lap top.
Earlier, the Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Don Baridam regretted that they were taken by surprise and in the end no fewer than 12 girls were raped by the reformed militants while personal effects were either stolen or damaged.
“Our demand is that you should move the militants from the present location as it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to carry out our academic activities without fear, adding that even some French nationals who visited the university yesterday hurriedly left for fear of attack.
“The other situation is that should our students be provoked into reacting and clashing with the militants, we cannot guaranty what will happen. We are pleading that the environment be made safe for us to study especially as you know that people beyond the State and region come here for academic and other activities”, he said.[/b]
The State government later handed over 20 patrol vans fitted with communication gadgets as the first tranche to help the security agencies to help them check crime during the yuletide.
Responding, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Bala Hassan said his drive was to make Rivers State the safest state in the country pointing out that last year Christmas and other Muslim faiths celebrated their festivals without any incident.
Meanwhile, 11 militants allegedly caught with stolen items after the riot by the police have been arraigned in court and remanded in prison custody.

Nothing written here or pic shown half expresses the hell hole Aba has become, it is simply uninhabittable. Something really needs to be done fast or we may have an epidemic on our hands soon.
