How Pastor Owoeye Is Transforming the RCCG Youth Ministry In Nigeria
Pastor Owoeye is making significant changes to the youth ministry of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Nigeria. His innovative approaches and dedication are inspiring young people and revitalising the ministry.
By focusing on relevant programs and engaging activities, he aims to empower the youth and strengthen their faith. Through mentorship and community involvement, Pastor Owoeye is fostering a new generation of leaders who are actively contributing to the church and society.
In an interview with Tribune Online, Pastor Owoeye described the RCCG Youth Ministry as a dynamic segment of the church dedicated to nurturing, empowering, and guiding young people to grow spiritually, lead responsibly, and positively impact society.
Instead of rejecting digital culture, Pastor Owoeye has embraced it as a crucial tool for evangelism and discipleship. He stated, “This generation is digital. If you are judgmental, you can’t reach them. But if you engage them with love and provide platforms for them to express themselves, you’ll be amazed at what they can achieve.”
He views young people as an untapped resource within the church, full of talent, creativity, and technological skills. Some have developed digital applications worth billions, and Pastor Owoeye believes that the church must recognise and invest in these individuals before the secular world claims their potential. “Why should we wait until we lose them before we start supporting them?” he asked.
He also highlighted the increasing popularity of gospel artists, who are now invited to perform at secular events. “Even non-believers want them at their birthdays, weddings, and funerals because they possess something special. These artists blend the sacred with the social, drawing more people to God without compromising their identity,” he emphasised.
Pastor Owoeye stressed that the RCCG Youth Ministry is not merely focused on church attendance or activities; it aims to meet the total needs of young people—spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and socially. He has initiated a significant transformation by professionalising the church’s counselling unit.
“We brought in trained professionals. People are facing emotional breakdowns, toxic relationships, financial stress, and loneliness. These issues are not purely spiritual; some are psychological, and some are human challenges,” he explained.
He cautioned against the tendency to overspiritualize every problem. “Some people are just tired. They need rest, not deliverance. Man is made of body, soul, and spirit, and we must address all three components.”
“Many youths feel empty despite being surrounded by people because there is no meaningful engagement. Loneliness is not just the absence of people; it’s the absence of connection. Until we cease being judgmental and become trustworthy, they won’t confide in us,” he noted.
Pastor Owoeye expressed concern about the gap between the older and younger generations and is working to foster deeper collaboration between them. “There can be no future without the present, and no present without the past,” he pointed out. To bridge this generational gap, he initiated gatherings for retired elders at the City of David, allowing the youth to gain wisdom from the older generation.
“You can’t father a child you never mentored. Often, when members of our church rise to political positions, we claim them. But did we invest in them? Did we support them through their journeys? Many were mentored and sponsored by non-believers, which is why we often lack influence over them once they attain power,” he added.
According to him, the future of the youth ministry is promising, but only if the church remains intentional. “The youth have immense potential. God wants to raise an end-time army through them. If we don’t guide them, they may become unruly. We must be deliberate about building them up. They are the ones God wants to use to bring forth new inventions, ideas, and breakthroughs that the world has never seen.”
Reflecting on his recent visit to the United Kingdom, he noted the rapid pace of change in the world. “By 2030, the UK plans to stop using fuel-powered cars. This indicates the speed of innovation. The technology and discoveries this generation will produce will be groundbreaking. There was no Google or artificial intelligence when our ancestors were alive, but now, everything is possible from the comfort of your room.”
In his opinion, the church must evolve into not just a spiritual hub but a beacon of solutions. “The government of the world is failing, and people are now looking to the government of God. It’s time for the Church to shine. What the world has struggled to achieve, we can accomplish through godly systems, discipline, and innovation.”

The 2025 International Ministers Flaming Fire Conference has drawn thousands of worshippers, church leaders, and delegates from more than 68 nations to the Glory Dome, headquarters of Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), Abuja.
The week-long global convocation, themed “Territorial Dominion,” began on August 26 and will climax with a grand thanksgiving service on August 31. Among the nations represented are the United States, United Kingdom, China, India, Russia, Ghana, Rwanda, South Africa, Australia, Malawi, Japan, and many others.
Pastor Paul Enenche and his family
The international ministers gracing the platform alongside hosts Dr. Paul and Dr. Becky Paul-Enenche include Dr. Bill Winston (USA), Bishop Dag Heward-Mills (Ghana), Steven Brooks (USA), Chioma Jesus (Nigeria), Michelle Benedek (USA), and several others.
The opening night was marked by a colourful parade of nations, with delegates greeting the congregation in their native languages before joining in a collective prayer session for the nations.
In his opening message, Dr. Paul Enenche expounded on the theme, recalling the biblical story of Philip in Samaria.
“Every entity in Samaria, 
whether spiritual or physical, knew that something had shifted because Philip had arrived,” he declared.
Challenging ministers, he asked: “When last did you enter a place and heaven and hell recognised your arrival?”
Dr. Enenche taught that persecution often opens doors for divine visitation.
> “Whenever the devil does his worst, God sets the stage for His best. Fresh battles attract fresh mantles,” he said.
He identified three forces behind Philip’s impact—the Spirit, the Word, and Power—noting that effective ministry is not in titles or advertisement but in the manifestation of God’s presence.
“You don’t need a poster if you carry power. The proof of ministry is not advertisement but manifestation,” he told a roaring congregation.
The conference has since featured daily morning and evening sessions, including teaching, prayer, impartation, and worship.
On Day 3, Dr. Bill Winston preached on “Living from the Inside Out” and later ministered at the vigil on “Growing Up, the Sons of God,” drawing from Romans 8:19 and Hebrews 5:12-14. Using a practical illustration, he remarked:
“I thought I was Superman whenever I wore a Superman shirt—I felt stronger. So how much more when you put on Christ? The enemy is under our feet.”
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills brought a strong evangelistic and healing campaign on Day 4, teaching on Matthew 16:18 about faithfulness in building the Church of Christ.
The high point was the World, Worship, and Wonders Night, when the Glory Dome overflowed beyond capacity, with thousands worshipping both inside and outside the massive auditorium. The electrifying atmosphere of worship, Word, and miracles marked what many described as a historic visitation.
As the gathering enters its final sessions, ministers and believers alike testify to a renewed sense of power, presence, and purpose for global territorial dominion.
The General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Worldwide, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, has ordained 5,000 men and women as pastors during the 2025 Global Ministers Conference.
The ordination, which took place at the Prayer City along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, was the climax of the four-day conference themed “The Message, the Messenger and the Power.”
Addressing the new pastors before the Sunday service, Olukoya urged them to remain dedicated to their calling and shun rebellion, describing it as a “killer.” He cited the biblical example of Absalom, who rebelled against his father, King David, but died on the battlefield.
The cleric also warned against self-ordination and questioned the authenticity of some who parade themselves as “general overseers, papas, and superintendents” on the internet.
“You are ordained today; whose anointing are you carrying — the oil of God or of man? If it is men’s, you better back out now. Only God can call and ordain you,” Olukoya said.
He further charged the newly ordained pastors not to oppress church members but to be diligent and faithful in their service.
“From today, you shall not be the same person again,” he declared.

From Barefoot Village Boy to Global Spiritual Leader: Adeboye Inspires at Church’s 50th Anniversary
Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has shared a moving account of his journey from barefoot days in secondary school to becoming one of the most influential Christian leaders in the world.
Speaking at the 50th anniversary celebration of the All Christians Fellowship Mission (ACFM) in Abuja, Adeboye reflected on his humble beginnings in a village so small it wasn’t on Nigeria’s map. He recalled seasons when faith was his only currency, yet God’s faithfulness never failed.
“Your promotion is not in the hand of man. Your promotion is in the hand of God,” Adeboye told the congregation, urging Nigerians not to define themselves by present hardships but to trust God as the ultimate promoter.
The service was also a celebration of ACFM’s remarkable journey from a modest “batcher” to a global mission with churches across Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, and Burkina Faso. Its founder, Rev. Williams Okoye, described the theme, “God Our Helper” (1 Samuel 7:12), as both timely and fitting.
Guests, including former Senate President Anyim Pius Anyim and Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship leader Ifeanyi Odedo, shared heartfelt testimonies of how the church shaped their lives, faith, and public service.
For Pastor Adeboye, the day was more than an anniversary—it was living proof that no beginning is too small for God to transform into greatness.
