A Message of Welcome
A Season of Faith
and New Beginnings
Dear beloved family of RCCG Cabo Verde,
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. It is with a heart full of gratitude and expectation that I write to you today. As I reflect on the journey God has brought us through — the seasons of prayer, the moments of breakthrough, the lives transformed and families restored — I am overwhelmed by His faithfulness.
We are living in a remarkable moment and God is moving in ways that should fill every one of us with holy boldness and fresh expectation. Our congregations are growing and the testimonies of His grace are multiplying.
"God did not bring us this far to abandon us now. Every promise He has spoken over this nation will come to pass in His perfect time."
I want to encourage you: do not grow weary in doing good. The harvest is real. The fields are ripe. Some of you are in the middle of the most difficult season of your life — your faith is being tested, your patience is stretched, and the answer seems delayed. I want to remind you of what the Word declares over you today.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11This season, we will be intentional about three things: deepening our roots in prayer, widening our reach in outreach, and strengthening the family unit in every parish. I am asking every member, every worker, every leader to make a fresh commitment — to God, to the church, and to the community we are called to serve.
Remember: you are not alone. You are part of this great family. God is moving right here. Do not limit what He can do through you.
I love each one of you dearly. My prayers are with you always. Keep pressing forward in faith — your best days are still ahead.
A Church Born
from Faith
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Cabo Verde first began its journey in 2006 in Praia, Cabo Verde, with a humble gathering of just three members under the pioneering leadership of Pastor Ezekiel King Adedayo. What started as a small fellowship of believers soon became the foundation of a growing spiritual family, committed to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and raising disciples across the islands.
Built on the global vision of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG Cabo Verde embraced its calling through prayer, evangelism, discipleship, and community service. Over the years, the ministry steadily expanded beyond Praia, establishing congregations in Boa Vista and Sal Island, touching lives and bringing hope, restoration, and spiritual transformation to individuals and families across the nation. As part of the worldwide RCCG family, founded in 1952 in Lagos, Nigeria by Josiah Olufemi Akindayomi, the church shares in a global mission that now spans over 190 countries under the leadership of Enoch Adejare Adeboye.
Today, RCCG Cabo Verde stands as a vibrant, Spirit-filled community dedicated to worship, prayer, teaching the Word of God, family development, youth empowerment, and community transformation. From our headquarters, Tabernáculo do Louvor in Achadinha Cima, Praia, we continue to welcome people from all backgrounds into the family of God, fulfilling our mission of preaching the Gospel, making disciples, and transforming communities throughout Cabo Verde.

Scripture is our final authority. We preach it, teach it, and live by it without compromise or apology.
