Pastors Prince and Esther Obasi-ike spearheaded the establishment of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Kenya. In October 1995, Pastor Prince Okechukwu Obasi-ike and Pastor Ademola Farinu were commissioned to initiate RCCG in Kenya. From Kenya, Pastor Prince played a pivotal role in expanding RCCG into Uganda, Rwanda, Seychelles, Burundi, Sudan, Tanzania, Malaysia, and Stockholm Sweden.

Pa' Akindayomi's Successor
Rev. Akindayomi, the Founder of The Redeemed Christian Church of God remained faithful to his vision until his death in 1981. In the early 1970s, he received a message about his spiritual successor. When Dr. Enoch Adeboye joined the church in 1973, Rev Akindayomi recognized him as the one. Dr. Adeboye became an interpreter and was ordained as a pastor in 1975.
