Testimonies and Impact
The NCCF family house has impacted the life of Christians and believers of Christ. Individually, I have been able to encounter more of Christ in the family house. Spiritually, mentally, and physically, the house has been a great impact to me when I was residing in the family house while serving as a corps member.
The spiritual aspect of it is that it brings the corps members closer to God and equip them with a good training to win souls for Christ. When it comes to the physical benefits, the most important thing is that the family house serves as accommodation to the members and helps to save cost of living.
For example, you don’t buy water, all members eat from one pot, electricity availability, etc.
Positive Impact on the Community
Some of the family houses offers water charity to the community. I.e. having a separate tank that supplies water to any individual outside the family house to fetch water for free.
Some community members are being converted to Christians or helping the already existing Christians to become closer to God allowing them to give their lives to Christ. The family house also, serves as a place of worship for the people in the community who wish to attend.
Conclusion
If you want to encounter more of Christ, safe costs, and undergo a spiritual training as an NYSC corp member, you can reside in the NCCF family house.
