Pastor E. A Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and Life Patron of AMG, stated, “We prefer not to make noise, but we are in almost all the nations in Africa, providing schools, boreholes, and more, not by governments. But when the UN took notice and honored my wife, we felt it’s time to introduce ourselves to the world for more collaboration.”
