Thousands gather as RCCG's 72nd convention begins at Redemption City

The Redeemed Christian Church of God begins its annual August convention on Monday.

The 72nd edition of the convention with the theme “Heaven” is scheduled for Monday, August 5, to Sunday, August 11, 2024, at The Redemption City, Mowe Ogun State (Lagos-Ibadan Way).

Thousands of worshippers are expected to be physically present for the convention at the Redemption City.

Highlights will include the ordination of new pastors, teachings and the Friday Holy Ghost Night.

Guest houses and hostels in the Redemption City and its environs had already been fully booked by worshippers.

A check by our correspondent on Sunday revealed attendees already trooping in as vehicular traffic into the camp is expected to build up from Monday, intensifying on Friday for the much-awaited Holy Ghost night.

Speaking on the convention, the General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, had during the July 5, 2024 Holy Ghost Service themed “Refuel Your Fire”, said the 72nd edition will be “a convention like you have never seen it before”.

“Whenever they ask you what is the vision of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, we have always said number one, we want to make it to heaven and number two we want to take as many people as possible with us,” he said of the theme.

Adeboye urged the congregation to do their “very best to inform friends, relatives, and co-workers about the convention.”

“It is going to be very wonderful, we would be discussing themes like as pure as light,” Adeboye had said.

The RCCG is said to have a membership strength of over nine million across the world, with five million estimated to be from Nigeria.

Since 2018 when the church unveiled a 12 million capacity auditorium at The Redemption City, Mowe Ogun state, attendance of participants on site at the annual convention has grown.

At the convention, attendees are usually availed of free meals at designated points within the camp.

The church, on its social handle, said “RCCG 72nd Annual Convention is free, not sold out and open to everyone! Do you want to experience Heaven on Earth? Join us from August 5 to 11, 2024 at The Redemption City, Mowe Ogun state.”
