The week-long 67th Annual Convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) ended on Sunday with a Thanksgiving Service, during which 1,855 full pastors were ordained by the General Overseer, Enoch Adeboye. That was 252 higher than the 1,603 candidates ordained at the 2018 Convention.
The opening prayer of the service was said by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who is also a pastor of the church. Earlier in the week, the church had ordained 12,811 deacons, deaconesses and 4,060 assistant pastors.
Also during the convention, 109 babies were born at the church’s medical facility, where an Intensive Care Unit was commissioned; while 5,443 students graduated from the Redeemed Christian Bible College.
The convention, with the theme, “And God Said,” was attended by people from around the world, and watched on TV and the Internet by many more. The church has a physical presence in 198 countries. Giving an overview of the convention, Mr Adeboye noted that it had been a remarkable success. And while thanking God for it, he praised the congregation. “Thank you all again, you are the best and I am proud to be your pastor.”
He also thanked all those who had contributed to the success of the convention. “I want to say that the Lord has spoken and All will be well,” he prayed.
