RCCG INFORMATION

GENERAL OVERSEER

Fondly known as G.O or Daddy G.O, Pastor Adeboye became the General Overseer (G.O) of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in 1981.

Sheer curiosity and the search for a solution to a personal problem led Pastor Adeboye to worship at RCCG – Ebute-Metta in 1973. It was a most unlikely place of worship for a professor of Mathematics as the church had very few educated people and it lacked the comfort and grandeur of the Orthodox churches

God took RCCG to greater glory with the birth of the Holy Ghost Services, which started in the late 80s.

 

Fondly known as Daddy G.O, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye became the General Overseer (G.O) of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in 1981.

It is a service of intense worship and manifestation of signs and wonders. 1998 saw the birth of the annual Holy Ghost Festival. Billed Lekki ’98, an estimated 4 million people gathered to fellowship, praise and pray during an all-night service. It is conceivably the largest gathering of Christians in the world.

As Pastor Adeboye frequently testifies, the Lord has just started with RCCG.In his own words, “We are believing the Almighty God that very soon, in every town, in every village all over the world, there would be a parish of The Redeemed Christian Church of God established where people could be saved, discipled and trained in the fear of the Lord. So that on the last day, we would have people of all races, from all tribes, from all tongues, praising the Almighty God who had been brought in the Kingdom of God on the Platform of The Redeemed Christian Church of God.”

His desire to reach the ends of the earth is captured in this statement, “I would love to have a breakthrough to such a height that I can lend to nations and preach on every television and radio station at least one hour per day.”

Pastor James Fadel

By training James is an engineer having received in 1986 a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics at the Western Michigan University and a consequent professional career with the Ford Motor company as a Mechanical Engineer. He rose to the position of Senior Design Engineer with key achievements in lead positions. In 1990, he obtained an MS Degree in Operations Research followed by an MBA Degree in 1993 at the Lawrence Technological University, Michigan. In 2005, his entrepreneurial acumen led him to start and operate a large car detailing company and two highly successful WENDY’S Franchise Restaurants in metropolitan Detroit, Michigan. James further obtained a Doctorate Degree in Ministry at Bakke Graduate University, Seattle, Washington in 2012.
Having committed his life to the Lord, Jesus Christ in 1973, James joined The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Nigeria in 1975 and continued to serve the Lord in the USA with a passion that culminated in a call to ministry. Being a mentee of the General Overseer of RCCG – Pastor E. A. Adeboye, James pioneered a fellowship in his basement in 1991 and this gave birth to the first Parish of RCCG in North America (RCCGNA) – Winner’s Chapel, Detroit in 1992. In 2001, James was appointed the Chairman, Board of Coordinators of RCCGNA, probably the fastest growing church group/organization in the USA. This appointment led to a relinquishing of all business endeavors and a subsequent relocation of his entire family to Dallas, TX in 2006 in full-time ministry with RCCGNA.
To date, under his leadership, RCCGNA has grown to over 800 Parishes and hosts her annual events attended by thousands, at the over 800-acre campus in Floyd, Texas. He also works tirelessly to develop national programs to empower and enable Ministers and Workers to mature in their Christian walk and service. James has authored two books: 1. Right Leadership – Making Impact Today and 2. Your 4 Fathers and Their Kingdoms, both published in 2014. In recognition of the academic excellence of Dr. James Fadel, Bakke Graduate University, Seattle, WA appointed him in May 2012 a Professor of Transformational Leadership with special emphasis on Global Immigrant Populations. By the grace of God, he is happily married to Pastor Manita, a Pediatrician, and they are blessed with three children – Tolani, Dara & Simi and by the leading of the Holy Spirit, Pastor James changed his last name from Fadele to Fadel (meaning “The Beloved” in the Hebrew language) in January 2015.

 Born again! The greatest thing in my life, and the best thing that ever happened to me. I did not work to receive it. I did not deserve it. No. But in the night hours, as the month of March 1988 waned away, God spoke to my heart, and opened my eyes to see His Truth. I woke up to a New Life. A New Beginning. A New Way. I passed from death to life, from darkness to light, from enmity against God to sonship in Him. I did not become perfect. No. But I became his son and I am growing more and more like Him daily.

Pastor Toyin Fafowora, Provincial Pastor/Co Pastor Jesus Embassy Los Angeles

5:30am, April 1, 1988. I sat up in my narrow, white hospital bed and shouted, “I am born again.” The ward staff glanced up curiously, and then continued their early morning routines. I repeated the glorious statement to each person who came to my bedside that morning, until I got the reaction I desired. My friend and colleague, Ronke, stopped by on her way to ward rounds. When I said, “I am born again!” she clapped her hands, did a little dance, and yelled jubilantly. I nodded, satisfied. She understood.

 Born again! The greatest thing in my life, and the best thing that ever happened to me. I did not work to receive it. I did not deserve it. No. But in the night hours, as the month of March 1988 waned away, God spoke to my heart, and opened my eyes to see His Truth. I woke up to a New Life. A New Beginning. A New Way. I passed from death to life, from darkness to light, from enmity against God to sonship in Him. I did not become perfect. No. But I became his son and I am growing more and more like Him daily.

Over the next few months, God healed me of the typhoid fever that took me to hospital. He healed me of asthma and hemorrhoids, which had plagued me for many years. My medical career took a new upward swing. I was a new, happier, free person. My relationship with my husband became fresher and more exciting. We had one daughter, and we wanted more children, but for four years, nothing happened. My husband became born again in 1992, and we had four other wonderful daughters in the next four years! God is still working wonders in our lives today as I write.

Pastor Oluwatoyin Fafowora, M.D., Ph.D. studied medicine at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. She proceeded to a residency in Ophthalmology, followed by a Glaucoma Fellowship at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Nigeria. She worked at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England, and returned to UCH as Assistant Professor, and subsequently Associate Professor. She moved to the United States to join her husband in ministry in 2000.

She further completed a doctorate degree in Epidemiology (with a minor in genomics) at UCLA. She worked at the prestigious Jules Stein Eye Institute at UCLA, then as a Principal Investigator with the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda Maryland, followed by a stint as a consultant in the eye care section of the global pharmaceutical company Allergan. Subsequently, she was a consultant with the eye care device manufacturing company Staar Inc, in Monrovia CA, before entering full-time ministry at Jesus Embassy. 

She is happily married to Pastor Olaniran Fafowora, Ph.D. and they are blessed with five wonderful daughters.
