In a powerful move that blends faith with the future, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Continent 3, has announced a free digital skills empowerment programme for 8,400 Nigerians to celebrate the 84th birthday of its General Overseer, Enoch Adeboye.
Rather than mark the occasion with mere fanfare, the church is choosing impact over applause — launching an initiative that will equip thousands of Nigerians with life-changing digital skills in today’s technology-driven world.
A Birthday Celebration With Purpose
Pastor Adeboye, who clocks 84, remains one of the most influential Christian leaders globally. Known for his humility, discipline, and passion for soul-winning, the revered cleric’s birthday is often celebrated across nations. But this year, RCCG Continent 3 is taking the celebration a step further — by investing directly in people.
The free programme is designed to train 8,400 beneficiaries in relevant digital skills that can open doors to employment, entrepreneurship, and financial independence.
In an era where digital literacy is fast becoming a survival tool, this initiative sends a strong message: the Church is not just preparing people for heaven — it is preparing them for relevance on earth.
What the Programme Offers
According to organisers, the empowerment scheme will provide structured training in high-demand digital areas such as:
- Digital marketing
- Graphics design
- Web development
- Data analysis
- Social media management
- Content creation
- Tech fundamentals and online business tools
Participants will receive practical training from experienced facilitators, with a focus on real-world application. The goal is not just knowledge, but transformation — turning learners into earners.
Why 8,400?
The figure is symbolic. At 84 years old, Pastor Adeboye’s life has spanned generations, and the church is multiplying that number to extend impact. Instead of celebrating one man alone, the vision is to empower thousands in his honour.
It reflects the General Overseer’s long-standing message: a life lived for God must also be a blessing to humanity.
Bridging Nigeria’s Digital Gap
Nigeria continues to grapple with youth unemployment and economic uncertainty. Yet, the global digital economy is expanding rapidly. Remote jobs, freelancing, tech startups, and online businesses are creating new wealth pathways.
However, access to digital training remains limited for many young Nigerians due to financial constraints.
By offering this programme free of charge, RCCG is helping to bridge that gap — giving ordinary Nigerians extraordinary opportunities.
This initiative aligns with a growing trend where faith-based organisations are stepping into areas traditionally dominated by government and private sector intervention — education, healthcare, empowerment, and innovation.
A Legacy Beyond the Pulpit
For decades, Pastor Adeboye’s ministry has extended beyond church walls — influencing education, social welfare, missions, and community development across nations.
As he turns 84, this digital empowerment drive reinforces a legacy built not just on sermons, but on service.
It is a reminder that true leadership multiplies impact.
Faith Meets the Future
The RCCG digital skills programme represents something bigger than a birthday celebration. It signals that the Church understands the times.
Technology is shaping economies. Artificial intelligence is transforming industries. Social media influences culture. The world is evolving — and the Church is positioning believers to thrive within it.
By training 8,400 Nigerians, RCCG Continent 3 is planting seeds that could grow into businesses, careers, innovations, and testimonies.
And perhaps that is the most fitting birthday gift of all — empowering people to win in life while living for God.
