In a powerful demonstration of faith in action, Deborah’s Impact Projects Africa (DIPA), under the People of Influence Network, has successfully carried out the March edition of its Joseph’s Project Outreach, impacting hundreds of lives through both spiritual and material support.

Held at Oniru, Lagos, the outreach was delivered in collaboration with This Is Jacob, the men’s arm of the ministry. As part of its intentional focus on vulnerable groups, DIPA invited widows from a widow’s association to participate alongside other beneficiaries, ensuring they were included in the day’s impact.

The programme opened with a prayer led by Diezani Ototo-Onuorah, Project Lead at DIPA, setting a reflective tone that flowed into a vibrant session of praise and worship. As the gathering progressed, Apostle Isi Igenegba brought words of encouragement in Pidgin, connecting deeply with the audience while speaking blessings over the people and the work of DIPA.

The message was further anchored by Nkoyo Ugbe, Lead at DIPA, whose teaching, delivered with Yoruba interpretation, ensured inclusivity and clarity across the diverse audience. The moment culminated in a significant spiritual milestone, as 31 individuals responded to the altar call, committing their lives to Christ.

Beyond the spiritual ministration, the outreach delivered tangible relief. A total of 287 beneficiaries received welfare packages containing essential food items, alongside cooked meals served on-site. For many, it was not just a moment of provision, but one of restored dignity and renewed hope.

Reflecting on the outreach, Nkoyo Ugbe noted that Joseph’s Project continues to embody the organisation’s mission of demonstrating hope in practical ways, meeting people at the point of both spiritual and physical need.

Diezani Ototo-Onuorah also highlighted the importance of structure in delivering impact, emphasizing that every outreach represents not just numbers, but real lives touched and communities strengthened.

With 287 people fed, 287 welfare packages distributed, and 31 souls saved, the outreach stands as a clear testament to what can be achieved through collaboration, compassion, and purpose-driven leadership.

Deborah’s Impact Projects Africa remains committed to advancing sustainable interventions across its core focus areas, including education and welfare, healthcare access, food security, and economic empowerment. Operating with strong governance practices such as financial transparency, beneficiary safeguarding, and monitoring and evaluation, the organisation continues to ensure accountability and measurable impact.

DIPA extends its appreciation to all partners, volunteers, and supporters, especially This Is Jacob, whose collaboration made the outreach a success.
