Last Thursday, the Redemption City of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) was a beehive of activities. It was the 75th birthday of the mother-in- Israel and wife of the General Overseer, Pastor (Mrs.) Folu Adeboye.

The colourful celebration started with a birthday lecture held under the theme, ‘Effective Teaching and Discipleship through Christian Education’, and delivered by a former University of Lagos Vice Chancellor, Prof Toyin Ogundipe.

Ogundipe said that effective teaching and discipleship would lead to generations that would actively participate in nation-building by promoting virtues and spiritual growth.
