Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), an international church organisation with active churches in over 130 countries.
Prior to joining the clergy, he was a university lecturer in Mathematics, a subject in which he has a PhD. He assumed leadership of the RCCG in January 1981 and is today widely acknowledged as a spiritual leader to not only millions within the RCCG, but in other parts of Christendom.
Pastor Adeboye’s many laudable contributions to the global dissemination of the Christian faith and the development of civil society through various initiatives embarked upon by the RCCG internationally have been recognised and commended across the world. In December 2008, Newsweek, the international newsmagazine, named him one of the 50 most influential persons on the planet.
He is married to Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye and the couple has four children.
Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye is the wife of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and Mother-in-Israel. She is greatly admired for her selfless service to the body of Christ and to society.
Her concern for the spiritual and physical welfare of people, particularly the less privileged, is demonstrated in great sacrifices of time, talent and resources aimed at improving the well-being of vulnerable women and children across the world.
One of her ministry projects - Africa Missions – was set up in 1996 to promote the spread of the gospel in Africa and in other continents.
The initiative also encourages the introduction of sustainable development programmes meant to improve the quality of life of vulnerable children, youths, women and families.
She remains focused on the manifold call of God on her life, especially through the helps and teaching ministries within and beyond the RCCG.
