HISTORY OF LIVING FAITH CHURCH.
The church was founded on May 2, 1981, when David Oyedepo who was 26 years old then, had a spiritual encounter while staying in a room at the International Hotel in Ilesa city’s Omi-Asoro neighborhood in what is now the Nigerian state of Osun. He claimed to have experienced a supernatural encounter lasting eighteen hours that was a vision from God. “Now is the time to save the world from all the oppressions of the devil, via the preaching of the Word of faith; and I am sending you to carry out this mission,” God said in a message to him. On December 11, 1983, the church opened its doors to its first four members.
When Canaanland was acquired in 1998, it contained 560 acres (2.3 km2). Faith Tabernacle, the church’s global headquarters, was constructed in Cannanland between 1998 and 1999, taking a full year to complete. On August 29, 1998, the foundation was laid. The Faith Tabernacle opened its doors in 1999 with 50,400 seats. At the church’s yearly Shiloh gathering on December 11, 2013, Oyedepo’s first son, David Oyedepo Jr., made his public teaching as a pastor. Oyedepo Jr. took over as the Faith Tabernacle’s resident pastor in December 2015.
Oyedepo announced the start of work on “The Ark,” a sanctuary with a capacity of 100,000. (It was formerly called Faith Theatre). In particular, The Ark will have 106,000 seats and a 20-floor mission Tower (International Headquarters Facility).
