The new Minister for Community Development Hon. Loujaya Toni MP is calling on churches in the 16 wards of Morobe Province to work with her.
She appealed to all mainline churches, ministries and Ministers' Fraternals in Lae saying she wanted to know their programmes.
The Minister said she had to develop a good relationship and network with the churches in the city.
She said that she will be talking to the churches and attending churches after hours. We have to have a partnership, church partnership in the community for which we have prayed and want to see the fruit of churches in the community.
She said the churches could partner the Lae Chamber of Commerce to keep beggars off the street by setting up mission kitchens in strategic locations.
She said this would enable people with disabilities and the disadvantaged to receive the Word of God, food and counselling.
People could use tokens instead of money at the food kitchens. The tokens could be collected by those running the missions and returned to the Government for refund.
