Pastor Enoch AAdeboye is a Nigerian pastor and the General Overseer of one of the most popular churches in Africa, The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)
Adeboye joined the RCCG in the late 80's, and he started working as a translator to translate the sermons of its then Pastor and founder, Rev. Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi, from Yoruba into English.
In 1981 Adeboye was appointed General Overseer the church, taking over from Papa Akindayomi, who had died the previous year. For three years he filled the role part-time, still lecturing at Ilorin, until giving up his university position to preach full-time.
The church, which was not well known before Adeboye took charge,now claims branches in over a hundred countries, including more than 14,000 in Nigeria alone.
Pastor Adeboye has stated that his aim is to put a church within five minutes of every person on Earth.
