The Redeemed Christian
Church of God, RCCG, announced last week, through its General Overseer Pastor
Adeboye that they will build a three kilometre long auditorium because the
current one they have now, Redemption Camp, on the Lagos-Ibadan Express Way in
Mowe, Ogun state which was built in 2000 with a capacity to sit one million
people could no longer accommodate the millions of people who attend service
there.
According to the General
Overseer, pastor Adeboye, the new auditorium will be built at the mission’s
camp ground at km 46, Lagos-Ibadan expressway. Some Nigerians are already
criticizing the plan saying the billions that will spent in building this
auditorium, which will only cause more queues along this express way, could be
used for other things, like hospital, school, farmland, anything that will
provide employment - but then, bringing more souls to the Lord is a good thing!
A 3km auditorium is pretty
wide. Do you know how long it will take you to walk 3km? 35 minutes.
When Redeemed builds
this auditorium, it will one of the top ten churches in the world in area size.
