The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, has announced strict
measures for a hitch-free 64th annual convention of the church, which is
scheduled to begin on Monday, August 1, and run till Sunday, August 7.
The
convention, with the theme AMEN’ which literally means so shall it be,
will be preceded by a four-day ministers’ conference which starts on
Thursday.
In his welcome address, the General Overseer of RCCG,
Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, said: “Amen as we all know is one of the
names of our Lord Jesus Christ, you are, therefore, coming into this
convention to encounter the AMEN.”
A statement signed by Head,
RCCG Media & Public Relations Department, Pastor Segun Adegbiji,
said members, delegates and non-members were expected from about 190
countries where RCCG had presence.
According to him, the word
from Pastor Adeboye and other ministers would be robust, while music
would be rich, as children, youth and adults would have roles to play.
He then urged participants to take advantage of the numerous
arrangements put in place to help them have a wonderful camp experience
and a memorable time in the Lord’s presence.
Adegbiji said RCCG
buses in the church’s colours would be at the headquarters of all RCCG
Provinces in Lagos and South West Regions of Nigeria from today to
convey interested persons to the Redemption camp.
He added that
Team Nehemiah had arranged LAG buses for shuttle services from the
current Arena to the New 3×3 kilometer auditorium at Shimawa.
On
parking arrangements within the camp ground, Pastor Adegbiji explained
that Car park G is strictly for Lagos worshippers while Odofin/Shimawa
has been reserved for Ikorodu and members from Shagamu/Ibadan routes.
Oloparun
is for participants coming from Ogijo and exit to Lagos through
Ikorodu; Shimawa is for vehicles coming from Shimawa and Ikorodu, while
commercial buses are to park at a section of Shimawa Car Park.
