5 babies delivered at convention

AS at 4.00 p.m., yesterday, five babies had already been delivered on the first day of the 60th annual convention of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, currently holding at the Redemption Camp of the church along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

According to feelers from the Redemption Maternity where the kids were delivered, all the two boys and three girls were in excellent condition.

 

At the time of this visit two of them had already been discharged and had left for home.

The week long event had just started when the babies started pouring in and their parents were full of joy.

 Mrs Chinyere Okafor, a Catholic who resides at Ebute Metta area of Lagos said she had had her previous three babies at the Redemption maternity and it was only natural for the fourth one to be delivered at the camp.

She said her baby boy came at about 10.00 a.m., adding that they are both in good condition.

Florence Adeniyi resides in Aboru area of Iyana Ipaja in Lagos and is a member of the church. She was believing God for safe delivery because she had been told by her doctors that her baby was due on August 5 and she came a day later.

The chorister chose to name her new bundle of joy Oluwafikunayomi (God had added to my joy) in acknowledgement of the mercy of God.

In the case of the first girl of the convention, Oluwadamilola, Araoluwa, Enobong the joy of the parents is unlimited because they have had three miscarriages earlier.

Narrating her ordeal, Mrs. Nsikan Jinadu, whose baby was born at 10.20 a.m., said she came to the Holy Ghost Congress in December when Pastor Adeboye made a proclamation that there was a pregnant woman in the congregation who was not comfortable because she had had multiple miscarriages.

She told newsmen that the man of God assured that she would deliver this one safely, adding: “That was the promise that made me to come to the camp to have our first baby and I can tell you that our joy knows no bounds.”

Asked for his comments, an over joyous Mr. Jinadu, who lives in Ikorodu with his wife, would rather express his joy in the names he would give his new baby, pointing out that they would do everything to continue to serve God without turning.
