The General Overseer and the Founder of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles, MFM Ministries, Dr. Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, has cancelled the church’s annual convention and 25th anniversary that ought to come up between 20 and 26 October 2014.
The cancellation is to forestall the spread of Ebola disease that is ravaging some countries in West Africa, and which the Liberian citizen, Patrick Sawyer imported to the country in July this year.
DKO, as Olukoya is generally called, told all the Regional Overseers at a meeting he held with them recently to disseminate the information to their members worldwide.
The P.M.NEWS source said this is the first time the convention will not hold since he has been a member of the church over ten years ago.
However, the monthly Power Must Change Hand, which the church holds every Saturday, will continue to hold.
The governments, both federal and states, since the importation of EVD to the country by Sawyer, have been mounting pressure on Christian leaders to suspend their crowd pulling services.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye is noted for telling his congregation to shake hands with the brethren on both sides but, in the last Holy Ghost Service, he urged the people to smile to the people on both sides.
