Adeboye calls for donation, says billions of Naira needed

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has appealed to members to contribute several billions of Naira towards expanding the church’s camp facilities at Mowe along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.

Speaking on Saturday during the annual Holy Ghost Service, Adeboye explained that the current infrastructure could no longer accommodate the growing congregation, resulting in heavy traffic around the church premises.

“I announced to those at the old arena yesterday that we have a good problem. The place could not contain us anymore, and traffic extended to the expressway. A good problem is when a pastor has more than he can accommodate.

“We will have doubled next year, so we must do something fast. We have to build more dormitories. For example, we have outgrown our 10,000-capacity choir stand; some of them are sitting on the floor,” he said.

The cleric noted that the church requires an upgrade to its altar, accommodation, power supply, and water system to meet growing demands.

“But we must build and enlarge the altar with new accommodations, power, and water supply. It has been a long time since I made this appeal, and we can’t dodge the issue anymore. We will need several billions of Naira; those of you who can assist should step forward, nobody is forcing you, because my God has never let me down,” Adeboye said.

He emphasised that while the donations were voluntary, members willing to support should send payments directly to the church project account.

“Just imagine the amount of money it takes to feed this crowd; that is not what a poor person can do. My God will make you very rich; you cannot be poor and do this, so my God will make you very rich. I have cried to him for billionaires, knowing He heard me. I know He answers prayers.

“Please, decide what you will do. When you send the cheques, write them to RCCG Camp Project; don’t write my name. Please, do something quickly. God will take care of you and give you good problems,” he added.

Adeboye further encouraged wealthy members to contribute generously in millions of Naira.
