The Gospel Faith Mission International will on Monday commence activities marking its 70th anniversary alongside its 60th Annual Convention, with prominent Christian leaders expected to minister at the week-long event.

The convention, themed “To God Be the Glory,” will run from August 3 to 9, 2026, at the church’s International Gospel City, Ogunmakin, along the Ibadan-Lagos Expressway in Ogun State.

The event will be hosted by the General Overseer of GOFAMINT, Pastor E. O. Abina, and is expected to feature the former President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, and the General Overseer of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission, Bishop Mike Okonkwo, among other Christian ministers.

According to the organisers, the celebration will commemorate the church’s seven decades of evangelism, discipleship and Christian service while bringing together ministers, members and worshippers for teachings, prayers and thanksgiving.

Other ministers expected at the convention include Prof. Garry Maxey, Prof. Dapo Asaju, Rev. Samson Ajetunmobi of Men of Issachar Ministry, Prophet Abiola Adesibi and Rev. Sam Aboyeji of the Foursquare Gospel Church.

The church said the anniversary would provide an opportunity to reflect on its growth over the past 70 years, celebrate the contributions of past and present leaders, and reaffirm its commitment to spreading the Christian faith.
