All is now set for the 68th RCCG 2020 Annual Convention

The 2020 Annual Convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God starts on Monday 3 August 2020.

With topic: Wonderful, this year’s Convention is going to take another shape based on social distancing rule by Federal Government.

For the first time in the history of the 67 years old convention, the programme will be through online.

Thus rather than the usual coming together of millions of people in Redemption Ground, members will have to participate via online in line with observance of COVID19 guidelines.

The Convention is one of the three main annual events that bring millions of people together at the Redemption Camp from different parts of the world.

The topic, Wonderful, was a year ago announced by the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye during the 2019 Convention.

Commenting on this, the General Overseer praised God for preparing the ground for this 2020 Convention, saying,
“I give glory to the Almighty God for technology and particularly for Dove Media.

“I’m sure the Almighty God who knows the end from the beginning saw what was coming, and He has prepared us for it.”

The Dove Media Group Inc, a comprehensive media network, was established in February 2011 to enable the church play a more active role in the propagation of the gospel of Christ worldwide.

The Group operates in four major areas: Television; Short Wave Radio and Internet Radio and webcasting; and Global Vision, an international Christian magazine, which is the print arm of the Group.

The platforms enable the Church reach the over 198 countries and territories, where it is physically present, with programmes from the Redemption Camp.

“The Convention is going to be a virtual one but indeed apart from the physical feeling in the auditoriums, nothing would be missing,” an official of the church said, adding: “There are programmes in the mornings, afternoons and evenings, as in previous Conventions, all live on the various electronic platforms.”

On the expectations from the Convention, he said: “Wonderful, as the theme implies.

According to him, this 2020 edition “is going to be unique.”
