When Pastor Ivan Mohan and his church members collected unused electrical items to give to the needy as Christmas gifts in 2018, little did they realise that their effort would continue past the festive season.

Today, that initiative has grown into a regular project known as Furnish the Needy (FTN), meeting the needs of the underprivileged community in Puchong, Selangor.
