Pastor Adeboye's Church, RCCG Sets To Open University In Texas, USA

From Nigerian Bulletin:

Gone are those days when European and American missionaries brought religion and education to Africa, today, the reverse is the case. Pastor Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God is determined to take the "goodnews" of Africa to the West.

The Redeemed Christian Church of God, R.C.C.G is set to open a university, sports complex plus golf course in Floyd, Texas. According to BBC, the Texas Branch of the RCCG which is pastored by Pastor James Fadele is also planning on building churches as numerous as Starbucks coffee shops.

Fadele's goal is to establish a church within every 10 miles (16km) in North America, to take as many people as possible to heaven.
                                       

"Because heaven is real, God is real. And that is why we want to plant churches like Starbucks".

The Texas Church sits on a 700 acres (283ha) land which the church said they obtained miraculously. According to Pastor Fadele, God told the Church's leader Enoch Adeboye that its North American headquarters would be founded near Dallas - but not where, and not when.

Then, Fadele said, a white man in Texas had a vision.

"God told him, 'The land doesn't belong to you, it belongs to a group of church people,'" Fadele said. "'When you meet them, I will let you know who they are.'"

Fadele, a short man with a booming voice, said a few Redeemed Church members were eating at a local restaurant when they were approached by the white man.

The man told them God had asked him to buy a patch of land, but that the Church was the owner.

"They accepted it, they paid the check, and the rest, as they say, is history," said Fadele

The University and sports complex projects are expected to kick off soon.
