Various churches in Nigeria compete for members and retreats or conventions are organized yearly where the faithful come for prayers or to thank God for all the good he has done. Two of the biggest Pentecostal churches in Nigeria,namely Living Faith Church aka Winners Chapel and the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) are not left out and hold retreats or conventions every year.

The largest of such gathering is the Holy Ghost convention that is held every first week of August by the RCCG (Nigeria), which attracts a congregation of more than 3 million for the one week program. Millions of the faithful that could not attend the program in the church headquarters at the Lagos Ibadan expressway watch from their television set through a broadcast from the church satellite broadcast.
The General overseer or Daddy G.O as he is fondly called, Reverend Enoch Adeboye has been the head of the church since 1982 and has overseen its growth to its present level, where a branch of the church is reputed to be within a five minute walk from another in Nigeria.

It is Pastor Adeboye’s vision that not only a branch of the church will be planted within a five minute walk from another but branches of the church will be spread all over the world. The vision has largely been achieved because the RCCG has branches in all continents and has presence in 192 countries.

During the convention, pastors are invited from far and near to preach, convert and pray for the large congregation and new pastors and workers in the church are ordained.
