INC sends aid to Japan

01:46 AM April 25, 2016

THE IGLESIA Ni Cristo (INC) has sent emergency assistance to victims of Japan’s most recent earthquake under its International Aid for Humanity or Lingap program.

The INC’s Glicerio B. Santos Jr. said on Sunday the sect shipped  relief packets to residents of Kyushu island.

“We are doing everything we can to ease the lives of the quake victims. The assistance is, of course, intended for everyone affected by the tragedy, INC member or not, Japanese citizen or otherwise. The need to help transcends religious beliefs and nationality,” Santos said in a statement.

The relief packets consisted of bottled water, canned goods, noodles, cookies, coffee, tea, toiletries and diapers.

“The Japanese government was very effective in mobilizing its manpower support services, so the INC decided that relief goods of food, water and basic hygiene necessities were the best way we could help, as well as cash donations,” Santos said.

INC’s relief efforts were coordinated under the auspices of the Felix Y. Manalo Foundation. The church’s executive director, Eduardo V. Manalo, initiated the relief efforts. Jerome Aning
