Pastor E. A. Adeboye

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. 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.”

Dr. Myles Munroe is the Founder, President, and Senior Pastor of Bahamas Faith Ministries International, an all-encompassing network of ministries headquartered in Nassau, Bahamas. He is a multi-gifted international motivational speaker, best selling author and business consultant addressing critical issues affecting every aspect of human, social and spiritual development.

Pastor Myles believes in reaching the world using every aspect of the media including television, radio, the web, email, and printed materials. He also believes we should strive to reach the nations in the context of their own environment and, instead of telling them to come to us, we must go to the nations. His method is teaching rather than preaching because many have been preached to, and it is now time to be taught. Pastor Myles employs an intelligent and simple technique that is practical and can be applied to our daily lives. Barriers have been broken between denominations and different religions through Pastor Myles' teachings because his approach is not to become an antagonist but a peacemaker. He believes people cannot grow unless they are able to sit and listen to each other and not perceive each other as enemies. His warm personality and love for all humans attracts him to people of diverse backgrounds and he is always invited to return many times to address the same audiences.


 

Bishop George G. Bloomer is a native of Brooklyn, New York. After serving as an evangelist for fourteen years, Bishop Bloomer began pastoring in 1996. He is the founder and senior pastor of Bethel Family Worship Center in Durham, North Carolina. He continues to travel extensively, however, sharing his testimony with others of how the Lord delivered and set him free from a life of poverty, drug abuse, sexual abuse at the hands of a 30-year-old woman, and mental anguish.

Today he not only pastors, but he is the founder of Young Witnesses for Christ, a youth evangelistic outreach ministry with several chapters on college campuses throughout the United States; Bishop of C.L.U.R.T. (Come Let Us Reason Together) International Assemblies, comprised of over 83 churches nationwide and abroad; and founder and publisher of Blooming House Publishers, a Christian publishing company for new authors who find it difficult to get published, yet have a seasoned word from the Lord.

Bishop Bloomer holds to his credit a degree of Doctor of Religious Arts in Christian Psychology.  His is a message of deliverance, a message of hope, which far exceeds the desperation accompanied by the oppression of many silent sufferers. A husband, a father, a minister of the Gospel, and an inspiration to thousands who've found themselves at the brink of despair, Bishop George G. Bloomer's message is pure and simple: Reach the heart and save the soul.
Jesus Christ has the answer and is the answer to fulfill your every need. In Him all things are possible if you don't die during your valley experience!
