Untold Story Of Snakes And Robbers At Redemption Camp – Adeboye

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has shared the remarkable story of how the Redemption Camp came into existence. He revealed how faith and divine intervention transformed a dangerous, desolate land into a spiritual retreat.

While speaking on the sixth day of RCCG’s Holy Ghost Congress 2024, themed “Onward Christian Soldiers,” Pastor Adeboye recounted the challenges faced during the early days of establishing the camp. He explained that the location was once a hideout for armed robbers. “This place was just about two hectares of land where highway robbers made their base. I was just a little above 40 years old when we came,” he said.

He described the harsh conditions, including stumbling upon piles of stolen belongings, such as suitcases, shoes, and clothes, left by robbers. The area was also infested with snakes, especially pythons, which were frequently encountered. In one frightening incident, a snake was discovered under the bedsheet of one of his children.

Pastor Adeboye also shared an event involving a tree that locals believed to be cursed. Cutting it down was thought to bring death, but he noted, “Many years later, nothing has happened to those who cut the tree.”

Despite these daunting challenges, the unwavering faith and hard work of the elders played a crucial role in shaping the Redemption Camp. “Don’t look down on elders. They laboured with me when we had nothing. They fetched firewood for cooking, dug holes to get water to drink, and worked tirelessly. They have tried,” Pastor Adeboye said.

Today, the Redemption Camp stands as a testament to faith, resilience, and the power of a community working together to achieve a divine purpose.
