The outreach tagged Project Spread was done with the goal of reaching out to the less privileged inMakoko, Ijesha, Jakande and Isale Eko communities all in Lagos state. According to the organizers, this was an opportunity to show and share with Nigeria the true meaning of Christmas “Christmas is a special time for us as we celebrate the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ. It is also a time of sharing gifts because the coming of Jesus Christ into the world is the ultimate gift which humanity received. It is only appropriate for us to extend gifts and indeed our love to those around us especially those who cannot afford to celebrate as elaborately as we can. This is why we are undertaking this initiative at a time like this.”

In a chat with the pressmen immediately afterwards, Pastor Adefarasin said Christmas is all about giving hence the House on the Rock church’s commitment to putting smiles on the faces of the people who may not have been able to afford to celebrate the yuletide. "Lagos State can be better than it is but the church must play her part" he added.
The children had a great time as there was a party for them at the different locations with a lot to eat and drink. The adults had medical check-ups, health supplements, medications and some health education. In the end, the kids and adults all went home with gifts, food items and big smiles.
