8. Redeemed Christian church of God
The Redeemed Christian church of God was founded by Reverend Josiah Akindayomi in 1952 as a men’s fellowship with just 12 men. The fellowship eventually metamorphosed into the Redeemed Christian Church. The reverend was called to glory in 1980 and was succeeded by Pastor E. A Adeboye who is being used mightily by God not just in Nigeria but all over the world. The church is situated in Lagos, Nigeria and through its mini-city can host millions of worshippers at one meeting.
