The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) was founded in 1952 by Reverend Josiah Akindayomi in Lagos, Nigeria. Under the leadership of Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye since 1981, the church has grown from a small congregation to one of the largest Pentecostal denominations in the world with over 50,000 parishes across 197 nations.
RCCG’s community development arm — the His Love Foundation — has executed one of the most geographically comprehensive healthcare donation programmes in Nigerian history, donating 37 dialysis machines to 13 states across all six geopolitical zones, including OAUTHC Wesley Guild Hospital Ilesa, FMC Birnin-Kebbi, and University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital.
Healthcare
The His Love Foundation has donated dialysis machines to public hospitals across Nigeria, completing coverage of all six geopolitical zones by July 2025. The initiative, led by Leke Adeboye, has provided life-saving renal care access to patients who could not previously afford dialysis treatment. The RCCG also operates 22 daily feeding centres across Lagos and runs free HIV/AIDS testing programmes through its health outreach initiatives.
Digital Skills and Women
The Ladies in Tech Africa (LITA) programme, championed by Pastor Folu Adeboye, launched in August 2024 with 76,000 women enrolled in a free three-month digital skills training programme. Delivered in partnership with Africa Missions Global and The Incubator Hub, the programme trained participants in coding, digital marketing, and technology entrepreneurship.
Prison Ministry
The RCCG conducts weekly Sunday prison ministry across major correctional facilities in Nigeria, delivering meals to approximately 5,000 inmates every Sunday. The church also provides educational scholarships to inmates through its prison outreach programmes.
Community Transport
The RCCG Free Bus to Work initiative, launched by Leke Adeboye, operated free bus routes across Lagos and Ogun State corridors over seven weeks, transporting 56,000 commuters at a fuel cost of NGN 63 million. The service was open to all Nigerians regardless of faith affiliation.
