The Continental Overseer of Continent 3 of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Johnson Odesola, has called on the newly inaugurated Region 66 in Badagry, Lagos State, to focus on evangelism, discipleship, and community impact. He made this appeal during the inauguration of the region at its headquarters in Badagry. Odesola emphasized that the creation of the region should not only expand the church's administrative structure but also build on the work of their predecessors.
Odesola stated that the inauguration of the new region marks a significant milestone, representing more than just an expansion of the church's administrative structure. He urged leaders and members to appreciate the sacrifices of those who contributed to the church's growth while striving for greater achievements. According to him, the success of the new region should be measured by its ability to reach more people and deepen their faith.
The cleric emphasized that the establishment of a new region should not be merely administrative, but rather an advancement of the church's mission. He stated that a new region means increased responsibility, new territory requires greater leadership, and greater harvest requires more laborers. Odesola expressed his confidence that with the help of God, the region will move from where it is to greater glory.
Pastor Odesola highlighted that the region's success should not be measured by the number of positions or structures created, but by its ability to reach more people and deepen their faith. He encouraged leaders and members to work together to take the church to greater glory. The Continental Overseer also acknowledged the past glory of the church, stating that yesterday's achievements are not enough, and the church must strive for more.
The pioneer Pastor-in-Charge of Region 66, Femi Olunuga, has identified three core values for the region: Christ-like character, loyalty, and excellence, represented by the acronym CLE. Olunuga mentioned that the region would develop leaders who are loyal to God, the church's mission, their superiors, colleagues, and subordinates while pursuing excellence rather than mediocrity.
According to Pastor Olunuga, the region will focus on developing leaders with strong character, who are committed to the church's mission and values. He emphasized that the region's leaders will prioritize loyalty, excellence, and Christ-like character in their endeavors. This approach is expected to guide the region's activities and decision-making processes.
