A group identified as ReachForChrist Initiative has unveiled mobile applications iReach App and Philip Chatbot in a bid to meet the target of eight million souls to celebrate Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s birthday.
The apps were unveiled at the launching of the 80 Days Soul-Winning Challenge to celebrate the 80th birthday of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
Speaking at the launching on Monday, Bishop Francis Wale-Oke, President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, said that the challenge was aimed at winning eight million souls in 80 days.
According to him, the challenge is a birthday gift to a man who has dedicated the major part of his adult life to soul winning.
“The ‘iReach’ App is a mobile and web-based application for setting soul-winning targets.
