The Redeemed Christian Church of God was founded in 1952 by Rev . Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi (1909–1980) after he had been involved in several other churches. Through the leading of the Holy Spirit Pa. Akindayomi chose Enoch Adeboye, a lecturer in mathematics at the University of Lagos, who joined the church in 1973. Adeboye initially became one of the interpreters translating Akindayomi’s sermons from Yoruba to English. He was ordained a pastor of the church in 1975, and his appointment as leader of the church was formalized by the posthumous reading of Akindayomi’s sealed pronouncement.
Andrew Rice, writing in The New York Times, calls the RCCG “one of [Africa’s] most vigorously expansionary religious movements, a homegrown Pentecostal denomination that is crusading to become a global faith”. According to Daniel Ajayi-Adeniran, a pastor of the church, “In every household there will be at least one member of Redeemed Christian Church of God in the whole world.”

The church headquarters is located in the Ebute-Metta suburb of Lagos, Nigeria. Elsewhere in Africa, it has a presence in Benin, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

The Redemption Camp’s present auditorium that hosts the attending millions of overflowing population covers an area of 1 sq.km.

ABOUT RCCG HOD Calabar, CRPIV Android Software Program on GooglePlay Store

Sometime in 2015, I was in Calabar, Cross Rivers State (one of Nigerian Citiy  States that shares border with Cameroon) for a major ICT infrastructure setup on E learning for one of the schools in the State. During my almost 6 month stay, on Weekends I fellowship-ed with The Redeemed  Christian Church of God, House of David, opposite Airtel Office, off Calabar Ikang-IBB Way and Stadium Road, Calabar. Besides being a resource person for a computer training under the auspices of the Church, a Church management Software and Mobile Application was designed for the RCCG Cross Rivers province four.
