Magen David Adom has secured a further two ambulances from donors in Nigeria following an appearance at a landmark Christian convention in Nigeria.

MDA UK chief executive Daniel Burger was the keynote speaker at the event to mark the 70th anniversary of Redeemed Christian Church of God in the city of Lagos.

The convention was attended by Pastor E.A. Adeboye and Folu Abeboye, the Mother-in-Israel pastor, alongside one million other attendees.

Burger thanked both Adeboyes for their existing donations, saying the ambulances had helped save 23,000 lives and birthed over a thousand babies.

MDA UK said that the Adeboyes were “so moved by the tribute that they have subsequently committed to donating a further two ambulances in the coming weeks.”

“The support for Magen David Adom in Nigeria is immense,” Burger said after his return to the UK.

“I could not believe that one million people turned up and were able to hear about our work. Their commitment to saving more lives is genuinely incredible.”

Tobi Lovv, who has been instrumental in orchestrating the relationship, said: “The people of Nigeria are staunch friends of Israel.

“We are committed to the land and its peoples and we are committed to being a lifesaving force for good in the region.”
